Potato Soup

Yesterday, it snowed!!

You all know how much I love snow,

because I am lucky enough to be able to stay home and just enjoy it.

Yesterday was no different.
There are 2 Parts to the perfect snow day.

It snowed all day, the flakes were so small you could barely see them

and the accumulation was just like a dusting.

I have never seen anything like it!!

Part 1, done.

 

Food is the other part of a snow day I love.

When it snows, you have to stay home, bunker down and eat comfort food.

The stove has to look like this and the house has to smell awesome.

Part 2, was accomplished.

 

I made Potato Soup and Cucumber Sandwiches...

everything was so good.

 

For those who are interested, I will share the recipe...

this is super easy but is only "partly" homemade.

 

In a large soup pot cook 6 strips of bacon, transfer to plate.

In bacon drippings, sauté one large sweet onion until translucent.

Add 4 - 5 cups of diced potatoes, cut into 1 inch squares.

Add just enough water to cover.

When the water boils, cook for 7 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender.

Add one can of cream of mushroom soup,

one can of cream of celery soup and 1/2 a pint of heavy cream.

Simmer until all ingredients are incorporated, do not boil.

 

Serve with bacon crumbles on top.

 

 Onion and potatoes...covered with water.

  Here's the size of the dice.

  Everything's in,

 and I served it with yummy, crusty French Bread,

cut in half for easy dipping.

The cucumber sandwiches were so yummy.

Soft bread, crusts removed, sliced cucumber and a homemade dill spread.

I get this dill spread dry, at one of the craft shows I go to.

I mix it with one cup of mayonnaise and one cup of sour cream.

It is awesome to dip fresh veggies in as well!!

 

Today, was the "perfect" snow day!!
