Black Angus Baked Potato Soup – Comfort Food. With the temps down into the 30’s at night, I am craving warm comfort food. With the temperature change also came a cold. No, I don’t have Covid, just a cold, but the runny nose and cough makes me want to curl up with something warm.
Soup is all I have been thinking about. I have always loved soups, and they always make me think of home and all the family gathered around the table. Here is one of my all-time favorite recipes.
