Two Potato Chowder

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

My step mom made this soup for us last year when we were visiting. It’s very tasty and filling. And, it’s easy to whip up! Don’t forget the shredded cheese and bacon to sprinkle on top of the soup when you serve it. This will warm you up to the core on these cold and nasty days we’ve been having!

My honey and I can’t get enough spinach, and while we’ve made something similar to what you made, we’ve never tried it with the pan roasted peppers. That sounds like the perfect addition!!! I just know I’d love it! 🙂
