Comfort Food And Warm Hats

For the longest time I've been trying to find the recipe for Marie Callender's Potato Cheese Soup. I try to order it whenever I dine at the restaurant. If you've been lucky enough to have tried this scrumptious soup, you know what I'm talking about. The warmth and comfort feeling it brings you on a chilly day is worth every spoonful of however many millions of calories it contains.
Not too long ago I searched several websites for a Potato Cheese Soup recipe hoping to replicate the flavor and I think I finally found one on the Campbell Soup website.

The first time I made it, my taste buds were overjoyed. I couldn't believe how close it was in flavor and consistency to Marie Callender's soup.
I was so excited that I called my friend, L. (Hi L!).
I've made it a few times now - every time adding a new ingredient, but today I made it exactly as the recipe instructed. Yum!

I added croutons to my soup... you can see them floating around in my bowl.

If you want to try it out, here is the link to the recipe's web page. Bon Appétit

While I was making potato cheese soup for this chilly day, I was also gathering the hats I've knitted in the last couple of months. I was saving them for a massive Knitted Hats post, but I think I'll start tonight with one.

This is just a fun striped hat I made with Vanna White's yarn in pink and white. It's on the roomy side with a fun slouchy look and very warm.

More hats on the next post.

TTFN :-)
