Most potato soups I have tried have always had some form of dairy in them - so I am loving the roasted garlic and the lack of dairy in this potato soup.
Wishing you all the best as one chapter closes -and I am sure another opens - hoping you ind the right new opportunity for you soon!

I'm glad you like the soup Shashi, thanks! The roasted garlic is just such a simple touch, I love too, which I find sweetens up the soup instead of cream / milk.
Thank you for the good luck wishes in my pursuit of a new role. 🙂 I'll keep you updated in the blog. And thanks as always for keeping in touch. 😀
