He loves creating and trying new recipes, and even though he's not vegan, he makes the best vegan recipes. Stays in the family - they say 😀 This potato soup was one of my favourite dishes when I was a small kid. And now it is such a great feeling to have it again. It brings me back to my childhood. I think I have to recreate it and share it with you! Hmm…next recipe? Shall I?
