I eat soup all year round (even in the summer). I know, I know, I’m weird, but I don’t care! I love me some soup!!!
It fills your tummy and feels like a warm hug. But I don’t like the same recipes all the time.
This homemade chunky potato soup is a very simple and easy to make recipe that is packed with potato flavor, perfect for your recipe arsenal and suitable for vegetarians!

Do you think you could substitute red potatoes with sweet potato?

It might taste a little different, but I’m sure still yummy. 🙂

I love cream based soups with potatoes. This soup reminds me of my ham, potato and corn chowder. So comforting for cold, winter days.

That’s why I love this soup – the warmth of it on a cold day. It’s a perfect, easy meal to make for supper and enjoy the soothing taste! Hope you enjoy it!
