It's officially soup weather

The upside to gloomy, rainy weather is... soup!  

If you're in the market for something easy and comfort foodish, I have just the thing.  My sister Amy came up with this and she said I could share it with you.  She calls it Potato Soup with Italian Sausage, and here's how it goes: 


Potato Soup with Italian Sausage

About 5 cups of cut up potato


1 can cream of potato soup

1 block cream cheese

4 cups chicken broth 

1/2 teaspoon season salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

A little garlic powder

Sautéed and crumbled Italian sausage

Mix all in crock pot and cook about 5 hours, then mash potatoes to consistency you want them, stir and serve.
I like to sauté some garlic in butter and use stale bread to make croutons to go on top. Yum!  (That's Amy talking right there, not me).



And here's how it looks:





Thanks for sharing with us, Amy!
