Are you feeling lucky today?

I’m feeling pretty lucky but it has more to do with deliciousness than leprechauns and clovers. I have to say that I’ve never really gotten the whole St. Patrick’s day thing but it is fun to have a theme to go with. I know March is still a little ways off but I thought I'd share this one early so you can have it ready for St. Patrick's Day. (Maybe even start making it now to perfect your soup making skills!)

So what exactly makes this soup Irish? Um, actually I don’t know. I mean, it’s got potatoes so doesn’t that automatically make it count. Hmmm, that sounds kind of discriminating. I bet the Irish get annoyed by everyone thinking they live on potatoes. You know that I live in Idaho now, right? Well, this State is known for it's production of potatoes. I can’t tell you how many people ask me if we eat a lot of potatoes. It’s very annoying sometimes because I like potatoes, but that's not because I live here.

So it's not truly Irish soup, but it just feels more fun to say that. If you're from Ireland hopefully you will feel honored and not annoyed. Haha, but if you are annoyed I completely understand.

This is one of my new go-tos for dinner. In fact, it was such a hit the first time that I went through the effort of remaking it and taking a second set of pictures because my camera's SD card diedand I lost the first set.

I love how easy it is. When I make soups like this I always start by making the stock, which adds an hour but it's simple and doesn't take much hands-on work at all. I also really enjoy making things in one pot for my huge family.

Anyway, this soup is a winner every time and I really hope you make it and enjoy it. So happy St. Patrick's Day a few months early, haha.
