Tragedy has struck. The delicious potato cheese and bacon soup I like to get from the grocery store was not in today. Today is Wednesday, and the calendar at the store clearly lists Wednesday as Potato Soup Day. Even worse, the soup was not posted, but its nutritional facts were. There's a whopping 21 grams of Saturated fat per cup of that soup. No ( Read more... )
