Golden Carrot Potato Soup

Submitted by Wugfun

"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.
