Recently, I've been living on this recipe for Fisher's creamy potato soup. Simple and delicious, the ingredients come together quickly: sauté two onions, add four peeled potatoes and water, simmer till tender, add milk (thickened with a roux), and purée. A deeply satisfying soup perfect for the colder months of the year! // alexandracooks.com
