It’s very rare that we eat the same thing more than once but there are those go to recipes that we revisit now and again. Sometimes there’s just something about having a comforting meal from our childhood that brings back memories and is therefore comforting in more ways than the norm of satisfying hunger or a craving. This Simple Potato Soup and Dumplings recipe is one of those recipes that brings back memories of my childhood as well as my children’s childhood.
Few ingredients are needed to make this Simple Potato Soup and Dumplings and it comes together fairly quick. Make sure to stir it frequently once you have added the milk. Also do not let the potatoes cook too long or they will disintegrate into your broth. There’s no need to add flour or mashed potatoes to thicken this soup as the dumplings will do that for you. I hope your family enjoys it as much as we have.
