What I had for dinner

 

Austrian Potato Soup!

I realized that up until now,  all of my recipes have been for sweets.  Probably because that is what I like to cook best.  However, with the weather changing I got in the mood for some warm soup.   Oh, comfort food!  Sooooo good.  This recipe comes from my Mom who made this for me right after I had my baby.  Good memories!
