baked potato soup

on wednesday, ellie and i spent the afternoon making baked potato soup. it was a pretty fun day. now that she is getting a little bit older, she can really participate in these kind of tasks. she was able to stick with the project from start to finish. while making the soup, we had some really nice mommy daughter time.


this was ellie's first experience with a vegetable peeler. she did a pretty good job!

here she is stirring the soup, donning her adorable apron (thank you very much grandma).

lastly, here she is scooping out the flesh of the baked potatoes. (for those of you that we gave this soup to, rest assured, we did a lot of hand washing).
