Hearty Sausage & Potato Soup
Yum! What a hearty, filling soup! This is probably the last soup I make for the season since spring is right around the corner! If you've ever eaten at Bob Evan's restaurant then you've had their home fry potatoes probably loaded with gravy! This soup reminded me so much of them only the gravy was soup form in this dish! Hubby said it reminded him of biscuits and gravy! This soup was so creamy and smooth with little chunks of sausage throughout which made for a wonderful flavor! We really enjoyed this and our tummies were full!
