Can you feel the change in the air? I sure can and It’s getting chilly. Now that it’s officially Fall, I love making these comfort soups. They warm me from inside and out. This recipe comes from the closetcooking.com and it’s fabulous. It’s one that the whole family will enjoy.

- 2 cups ham broth or chicken broth
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, diced small and optionally peeled

Directions
- Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat, add the onions, carrots and celery and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
