"I am a huge fan of creamy soups so I decided to try to make this on my own and it came out wonderful. Great for leftover mashed potatoes which, in my house, is pretty rare. But when I have them I will be using this recipe. Hope you like it."

I enjoy cooking a lot. As well as entertaining and organizing pot lucks for events and get togethers. I like to try new recipes especially those of other cultures. On top of that I like to draw/paint and read. I am a movie fan and love animals. Cooking with plastic or aluminum is a major no no in my home where our motto is A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. Thank you for visiting my page.
