Corn Potato Soup

Normally my one warm meal of the day will be lunch. Since my childhood dinner has mostly been a cold supper. That meant a bread (most of the time homemade from my mom), some cheese and vegetables. And during my time at college I kept this routine in my own apartment, thanks to the universities mensa. But this winter when I come home with cold hands and a hungry stomach, I am happy if I can enjoy a hot soup in the evening. I like to cook a big pot once I am at it and freeze a few portions for later. And then, on days like today, with snow outside and it being cold and foggy, I get to warm my hands on a hot soup like this.
