One of our favorite local lunch haunts has the most amazing soup – a cheesy hash brown soup. As much as I love it, it has always seemed just a little incomplete to me so I’ve “souped” it up a bit by adding the meatballs, bacon, green onions and even more cheese! Then I went one step farther and adapted it to the crock pot for that easy fall/winter cozy meal.

Thank you. Not sure what you mean about the background as mine is white already. What platform are you viewing it on?
A delicious soup, especially with bacon and cheese. Thank you for sharing at Love Your Creativity.
P.S. I think it you used a white background, your blog posts would show up better. If you need help on your blog, I do work on blogger templates.
