flavorful potato soup
What a frugal and wonderful recipe-costs about $5 to make (excluding toppings), and I like mine without any toppings. Sometimes I'll add fried sliced beef sausage to the top for dinner, served with crusty bread. Adjust the seasonings because some people like more pepper than I do.
