We eat quite a bit of potato soups over at Tabs and Tidbits. I love a good soup, and potato soup is filling without needing too many ingredients to make it tasty. I though I had rounded out my favorite potato soups until a ran across this recipe.
Thanks to Eat Live Run, I have now added a new favorite to our potato soups collection. The creole seasoning makes this potato soup stand out above the rest. This recipe remains simple and filling yet gives potato soup that extra flavor punch!
