Did you know potatoes are a great source of Vitamin C and contain more potassium than a banana? The French Fry has given potatoes such a bad rep, but when prepared and cooked in a healthy manner, potatoes offer great nutritional value. Naturally gluten-free and a source of good carbs, they’re also a great substitution for bread and grain based dishes; helping boost energy! No wonder they make such an amazing comfort food!
One of my favourite ways to use organic potatoes is in a creamy potato soup. I first tried making this soup about two years ago and since then have perfected it to a tee. Its rich and creamy texture make it the perfect warm winter dish and, if you enjoy potatoes like I do, you’ll definitely be adding this recipe to your go-to soup list.
