Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Raising children on a dime led me to be frugal in the kitchen. So I came up with this warm and nutritious soup that met with everyone's approval and continues to be a family favorite bringing back fond memories.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Warm, comforting, and full of flavor, this isn't your typical potato soup. It's a thick and rich potato soup that's taken to another level with sweet onions. The onion flavor is very strong so if you're not a fan of onions this recipe may not be for you. We served ours with slices of sourdough bread. A delicious meal on a cold day.
