I hope you all had an amazing New Years Eve and Day. We spent our night with some of our closest friends. We went out to eat and finished off the night back at our house. We had some delicious food at my brother in law’s restaurant, and it motivated me to create some good eats back in my kitchen.
More importantly, you need need to make this roasted corn and red potato soup soon. It is probably one of my favorite soups to make and eat… It is creamy, hearty, and sure to make you want seconds. When putting it together, there is a lot of inactive time, which I love because I can get other things done.
We enjoy eating this soup with oyster crackers, but we have had it with cornbread and biscuits, and it’s just as amazing.
