Are you looking for a supper idea?
Are you in need of some comfort food on a cold winters night?
Try this wonderful soup. It is a recipe I received from my sweet German friend when we lived in Germany for three years.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture when I made it yesterday, but the next time I do make it, I will be sure to edit this recipe and add it then.
Potato Soup
This recipe makes enough for about 2 people
Ingredients
3 c water
5 small potatoes (peeled and diced)
2 medium size carrots (peeled and diced)
1/2 tsp salt (or enough for your taste)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp parsley
3 beef frank hot dogs, cut into small pieces (any meat will work, especially ham, but I like it the way Heike made it with hotdogs)
1/2 cup all purpose flour (enough to thicken water into a gravy)
Directions
In a medium sauce pan boil your potatoes, carrots, and spices all together. When they are soft, add diced hotdogs (or meat of your choice). Once the hotdogs are cooked, thicken water into a gravy base with your all purpose flour.
When this is prepared as a meal, serve with grilled Panini sandwiches, chips, or salad.
Lastly, enjoy your comfort soup! It promises to not only warm your body, but it will warm your heart and soul as well.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
