Cooking with Riley

  Hi everyone! For today’s post I decide to post a very delicious,   loaded potato soup   in honor of the first day of fall being this Saturday. This soup is amazing to have when it is chilly outside, providing you with warmth. This soup is super creamy and cheesy, and all the flavors work so well together. This recipe serves around 15 people, and it takes about 40 minutes to make. It is perfect for those get togethers that you have with friends or family. It is also perfect for leftovers and saving the rest of it in your freezer for another meal later.   What you are going to need: -         12 oz of bacon  -         1 ½ cups of chopped onion  -         6 cups or 32 oz of chicken broth -         2lbs of potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes. -         2/3 cups of butter or 1 whole stick of butter and 3tbsp  -         ¾ cup of all-purpose flour  -         4 cups of milk  -         1 tsp of salt  -         1 tsp of ground pepper -         8 oz of sour cream -         2 ½ cups of sharp

By a certain point I was able to tell what me and my dad needed more of, just by tasting the food.    Cooking has helped me  build closer relationships  to the people I love by sharing something that I love with them. My favorite thing is when I get to cook with peo
