How to Make Creamy Potato Soup | Hearty and Full of Vitamins
This creamy potato soup recipe is one we make on a weekly basis!
We’ve been lovers of this soup for a while now. It’s so simple, basic and packs up taste bud punch every time. I love serving soup like creamy potato soup or green bean soup on cold, rainy days, but it’s great comfort food and loaded with vitamins.
The kids love this soup so much it is on our weekly menu! The fact that there are so many different veggies in it, makes my momma heart, happy too!

But you can use any kind of veggies you have on hand.
