Its a chilly day in Mendoza, Argentina and Leah has a sore throat. So I’ve decided to make a creamy potato soup to warm us up. This soup recipe is a great base, allowing you to add other ingredients if you wish. You can substitute in milk for the cream, if you don’t have cream. And If you have bacon, it would be great to fry up in step 3 with the onions and garlic. Overall this soup is creamy and delicous. Pick up some bread and butter for dipping and this will be a great meal with leftovers for a snack.
Share your experiences! And happy travels.
