I love potato soup and it was what was on our menu tonight for dinner.

Sort:  

Really sounds and looks delicious, I will definitely try it myself.

It is pretty good you got to watch it closely though cause it can burn the flour if you are not careful

I will keep watch to see that it does not burn.

Looks delicious.Thanks for sharing this with us.
Can I use mutton? Because I can't eat pork.

You can leave it out completely and I don't see why you couldn't substitute the pork for mutton. I make a version without bacon too..

It is goooood, thank you for dinner.

you are welcome, glad you liked it.

he good thing with this is that it is great for me as am alone in my house and thus can cook a fast and yummy one -thanks to you my dear one for sharing-hence why you always get my upvote. Feel free to see my post on steem and issues with excess supply. Wish you a blessed weekend.

looks nice. i also can make recipes though it is rare to find men cook at home here. hope it was spicy :)

potato soup isn't spicy but I have some recipes that are, I will try to remember to share something spicy soon

We love spicy foods :D . Waiting for spicy and more home made yummy recipes .

Potato soup is more of comfort food, it isn't spicy at all unless you add something in it to spice it up.
