Ultra Cozy Potato Soup
Potato soup is one of those comfort foods that’s able to zap away any lingering chill after a brisk walk on a fall day. We included a few other veggies in this particular batch to give the soup a more well-rounded flavor, but feel free to omit if you’re looking for just the classics.
