the farmer in the deli soup
(1 rating)
I took classic potato soup recipe, gave it a makeover, and a new name.... "The Farmer in the Deli" (tongue in cheek). Potatoes, milk & cheese are the Farmer's proud work but the wife cleverly went to the Deli for the Tavern Ham ( she couldn't butcher the pig, after watching Babe).....hope you enjoy!
