Ghi chú

Dolly says: "The two things we always had in our tiny mountain home were canned corn in the pantry and potatoes in the 'tater hole' or root cellar, a hole in the ground in the backyard lined with straw and covered with hay. This soup is a dolled-up version of the one my Mama made, which was just straight corn, potatoes, and maybe a ham hock. I've added colorful peppers and, of course, the sour cream."
