Happy Tuesday, friends!  This week is crazy…Can I just get an amen from any of those busy ladies out there?   Life is busy and full, and I need a nap. haha!

One of my very favorite things to do when life starts to get crazy is to take a minute to make one of my very favorite recipes.  Bonus points if there is chopping or multiple steps…it’s a huge stress reliever for me.  We have guests coming tomorrow, so. I am whipping out one of my very favorite Soup recipes to celebrate.  It’s cozy and delicious and perfect.  Make it yourself and see.  You won’t be disappointed!

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 cup onion, chopped (about 1 onion)
2 large russet potatoes sliced in half, then cut into 1/4 inch slices
