My worthwhile cooking efforts are so few and far between, I thought I’d share my soup recipe from last night. I’ve never been a big soup fan until I had some really good ones in the past couple of years. A sweet lady in our church brought us some Mexican Chicken Soup after I had Hunter that will make you slap your mamma. So when she gave me a recipe for potato soup two weeks ago, I immediately bought the ingredients and added it to my menu.
Potato Soup
Ingredients:
4 large potatoes
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. minced onion
1 1/2 C. evaporated milk
Pepper to taste
1 C. shredded Velveeta cheese, although, I thought it would be good with a little more.
Instructions
Barely cover potatoes with water, cook until done. Do not drain. Add salt, onion, milk, pepper, and cheese. Heat just to under boiling point. Serve. HOWEVER, it was better after it simmered for a while.
Review
NOT on the list of ingredients were butter and fresh parsley, but I thought the soup could use some. But even still, it was a delicious soup, very easy, and one I will do again.
The Leftovers
As Bill helped me clean up from dinner, he looked at me from across the kitchen holding up a tiny little plastic container. “Is the Tupperware Principle in effect tonight?” We both laughed hysterically. The Original Tupperware Principle that I coined years ago stated that “you always need a smaller tupperware than you think you need. It always looks like more in the pot than there really is.” However, the Tupperware Principle has evolved in our household to mean an entirely different thing. Currently the New and Revised Tupperware Principle states the following: “All the good tupperware is sitting in the fridge filled with food that will never be eaten. You will be forced to use too small a tupperware, resulting in multiple containers being used for the same pot of leftovers, which also may not get eaten. The last few spoonfuls that will not fit in three separate plastic containers must be eaten while standing at the sink.”
But I really think this potato soup will be consumed before it goes bad. Especially since it’s in single-serving containers. How easy is that!
