We finally had a snow storm here and….although it is now a little melty and muddy…it gave us a great excuse to use up what we had and make some soup. Potatoes at our market were buy one bag get one bag free. It seemed like a great idea at the time, I mean who […]

Wolfgang Puck’s Potato & Cheddar Soup with Bacon
