Golden Carrot Potato Soup
"A creamy sour cream potato soup my grandmother found on a label many years ago. My family has been eating this for over 50 years. A very warm and simple soup, but very flavorful. Great with a crusty loaf of bread."

I now think of this as a wonderful carrot soup. I used my own homemade broth and Greek yogurt for the sour cream. We've had this twice now. The second time I added a few dashes of hot sauce and we liked the kick.

I work at home - which is delightful and tedious at the same time. One of the delightful parts if the baking breaks, followed by the cookie breaks.
I love to cook and bake. I once worked as assistant kitchen manager at a conference center and would feed anywhere from 15-4000 people at meal. I loved it! But I still have trouble cooking the right amount for me and my husband - I always end up with lots of leftovers.
