Potato Soup Night
I did not take my car in this morning to have the noisy and failed ac and heat things repaired. Instead, we went shopping about noon.
Publix
4 12-packs of Diet Pepsi for Tommy...b2g2
2 jars of Planters Dry Roasted peanuts...bogo
bananas not on sale
2 Red Delicious Apples. I rarely buy many apples at the same time so they will not get soft. Sometimes, they are not good even in the beginning. Tommy has one Granny Smith left that has been sitting in the refrigerator for two weeks. I refuse to buy more if he is not going to eat them.
Piggly Wiggly
4 cases of Dasani at lowest price I ever see...$3.40
chocolate Stage Planks for a quarter for package of two.
Another store
8 lbs. potting soil
lobster claw to repair my necklace that slid off my neck last Sunday
file folders in a case that is portable
single letter holder with a zipper. Often, I have to carry documents to someone. They just end up falling all over. This is sturdier than a manila envelope.
box of raisinettes and box of Milk Duds. We have not had any in a while.
We were going to have BLT for lunch, but before I could even think about making it, I looked over and Tommy was eating a pb sandwich. So, that will be dinner. Still, his job tonight will be peeling potatoes for potato soup for tomorrow. Neither of us became hungry when out and wanting/needing fast food.
There were no vegetables bought. However, the house has plenty of vegetables and fruits...all fresh, besides canned and frozen.
What do you put in potato soup? I am going to use potatoes, cheese, milk, chicken broth, bacon and salt and pepper. I see recipes that carrots and all sorts of ingredients. I have hated potato soup all my life. I ate some a few years ago that had cheese and bacon. I did not pay attention to the rest of the ingredients. Maybe I will put onions in large pieces and give onions to Tommy since I am not supposed to have onions. I love onions!
I suppose we will not have potato soup tonight. Maybe. He is peeling potatoes. I tried to read him a recipe and asked him about it. He said he could not peel potatoes and listen. I started laughing and he started screaming at me. I still chuckle.
It is 7:30 and maybe we will have potato soup. It is in the crockpot.
At 9:30. the soup was done. I gave a few pieces of potato for tommy to taste. He said it was good. When I told him I still had to put cheese in it, he nixed that. I only put in two ounces. When we both had a small bowl, he picked out the cheese he could find. Next time, I will put more chicken broth as the "soup" was more like hash, very thick. He thought it needed no more salt. Well, I put no salt in the soup. So, I call it a success.

My kids and husband wouldn't eat potato soup. Then my mom shared a recipe she found online and I made it and it is the best and easiest. Bill and the kids usually have 2nd with it.
ReplyDelete30oz. Bag frozen diced hash brownsBag
32oz box low sodium chicken broth
10oz can low sodium cream of chicken soup
8oz package of cream cheese
3oz bacon bits
1cup shredded cheddar cheese
Put hash browns, broth, soup, and half of bacon in crockpot. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. (I only add pepper). Cook on low 6.5 hours.
After 6.5 hours, cube cream cheese and add to crockpot. Cook for 1-1.5 hours on low, stirring occasionally. Top with cheddar and more bacon bits when serving.
I added to the post, a paragraph about the results. Thanks for the recipe. I have another can of broth to add to the soup I made. I may add an 8 oz. container of cream cheese and chives. Do you think the chives would work?
DeleteI'm not sure about the chives. I have had chives added to the top of potato soup at restaurants before so maybe cream cheese with chives would work. I have only ever made it with plain cream cheese.
DeleteI love putting cream cheese with chives on top of triscuit type crackers as a snack. Yummy!
Rachel,
DeleteThanks. Maybe i will save that for another pot. I love cream cheese and hot pepper jelly on crackers.
I like potato soup but only with a lot of cheese too. I think I will sprinkle some cooked bacon on mine next time I make it. That sounds so good. Take care.
ReplyDeleteCrystal,
DeleteI did not have a lot of cheese, but I will like a lot, too, if Tommy ever gets past it...lol. Thanks.
I love potato soup. I put bacon and onions and a little cheese in mine.
ReplyDeleteKim,
DeleteI think I now love it, too! The half onion I put in the potato soup hit the spot.
Oh yum, we love potato soup here.
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteI have joined the folk who love potato soup. I suppose bacon and cheese make most foods palatable.
PB when he could have had a BLT? Oh, I don't understand that. I love BLTs, except mine are always BTs. At least the PB sandwich was much easier on you than cooking bacon. The soup sounds scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteBD,
DeleteI asked him. He said he did not remember, didn't think. He never asks for anything at lunch or mentions he needs food. He was disappointed at himself...lol. We had the BLT for dinner. Then, we sampled the soup, not much soup. It was delicious. Thanks for asking!
