I’m still anxiously awaiting soup season.
Sure, I’m making soups right now. But it just doesn’t taste as good unless the temperatures outside hover around the low 50’s.
It looks like Oklahoma is on its way to another 2-3 weeks of above-average temperatures and no rain. What the heck is going on? Where is fall?? It’s almost October!
I’m trying to make the best of it, but it stinks. I want cooler weather, crispy leaves, and sweaters.
I made this soup this weekend. I think I was hoping it would cool down more this week to make it make sense. It never did, but the soup still tastes sensational.
I’m glad I found this recipe. It’s so hearty, delicious, and extremely savory. I typically use ground turkey instead of ground beef, but for this recipe I used beef. Right now it’s cheaper where I live and it honestly tastes a lot better in this soup.
Make sure you take the extra step of pureeing some of the potatoes before adding it to the soup. It makes this soup creamier and thicker.
Enjoy!
