I MUST tell you a story about the first time I made potato soup. We had only been married a few weeks, and it was a cool Fall day. An ideal day for soup, right? I thought I would dive into one of the many cook books I had received as a wedding present. (Yes, they gave cook books as gifts back then.) (HUGE SMILE)

Anyway, Hubby liked potato soup with lots of cheese and cornbread. I worked in the kitchen most of the afternoon making sure I timed it just right, so everything was ready when he got home from work.

I had never made either one before, but I was confident I was making a great meal.
