Quick Creamy Potato Soup recipe

This week's recipe is great for a cool fall weeknight meal. I made it recently during the week.  It really didn't take long at all and the kids loved it.  I cooked extra potatoes to make another recipe as well. You can do the same thing.  Next week, I will share the Quick Potato Skins recipe. Come back and check it out.
