Once a year, I become Irish. As soon as I hear the bagpipes, the celebrations are infectious. One Irish thing I love is POTATO SOUP. It’s thick, hearty, rich and has a wholesome goodness that appeals to everyone, Irish or not.
Potato soup is best served on a cold day, like it was today, the eve of St. Pat’s day here in the east coast. So I peeled some potatoes, mixed in the creamy soup, the milk, cream and seasonings and very quickly, my St. Patrick’s feast was ready. And for good measure, I added some slivers of deli corned beef and a hefty sprinkling of cheese.
It was cheap. It was easy. I served it piping hot and shared it with family and friends.
And whether you’re Irish or not, here’s the complete Potato Soup recipe, over at at Homemade Quirk, a community blog of Quirk Books. While you’re there, browse around because those folks have some terrific books you’ll want to have!




Okay, I’ll head over now to check out the recipe. I love potatoes, so I can eat this 24/7. =)
Thanks, Nami. It’s such an easy and quick recipe. You can even use leftovers! Happy St. Patrick’s day!
