Recipe Thursday | Ham ‘n Potato Soup

Ham 'n Potato Soup by DeDe Smith
This week’s Recipe | Ham ‘n Potato Soup by DeDe Smith
My husband’s mom has a ham and potato soup that he LOVES and this is my version of the soup. I like more flavor to my soups so I use chicken broth. This soup is different than most ham and potato soups in that it is brothy instead of creamy. Most potato soups that I know is thicker and has milk in it. So this was a great change and I actually really liked it! Serve with some french bread or rolls!

The perfect Winter soup with great flavor and comfort for your tummy!

Recipe Thursday | Crockpot Steak & Gravy

Crockpot Steak and Gravy by DeDe Smith
This week’s Recipe | Crockpot Steak and Gravy by DeDe Smith
I loved this comfort food! It comes together SO fast as you just add the few ingredients to the crockpot and let it cook all day. It was so good! My kids liked it the first night, but they didn’t think it worked good for leftovers – but I disagree. We had it for several nights and it was still yummy to me! We served it over rice and I loved the texture, but it would be good with pasta or potatoes as well! Serve with a side of steamed veggies!
