Poor Man’s Potato Soup – The Supper We Ate When Money Was Gone

Описание: This old-fashioned potato soup is the kind of meal families made when money was tight but bellies still needed filling. Simple ingredients, one pot, and a whole lot of comfort. This is true back porch cooking — the kind of food that brought families to the table no matter how hard the times were. Not super thick. Not fancy. Creamy, soft potatoes, simple flavor. This is belly-warming food.
If you grew up on meals like this, you know it’s more than soup… it’s a memory.
