Simple Potato Soup

This recipe will satisfy your taste buds for any occasion. It is one of my favorite comfort foods. This recipe has evolved over several years of modifications. I finally perfected it enough to write it down. You can modify the ingredients and it still tastes good. I sometimes add more black pepper to my own bowl after serving it, but try it first. Try cutting the potatoes in large cubes for chunkier potato soup.
