New LOs for Wednesday
Ok so its almost the end of the month and I'm like in panic mode to get all my CT LOs done for the month, its just been crazy. Oh well....when isn't life! So here are two I posted today! Oldie pics that needed to be cleaned out of my "to be scrapped" folder! Some day I'll get to do current stuff!!!!
Potato Ham Soup - YUM!!!
I'm going through a soup phase and this one is nice and hearty and oh so yummy! I totally copied and pasted an online "friend's" recipe, but can't link you to it since she's a "closed" blogger for privacy reasons. So I hope she doesn't mind me sharing with you all!
I made it last night exactly according to the directions and wow..C and I loved it! The boys...well give them time! E still has to get over his soup aversion to appreciate this, the boy is crazy I tell you. And K well you never know what he's going to like or not like from one minute to the next. But he did enjoy dipping his bread in it, so there's hope!
POTATO & HAM SOUP
3 1/2 cups peeled & diced potatoes (I love Yukon Golds!)
1/3 cup diced celery
1/3 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced cooked ham *
3 1/4 cups water
2 TBSP chicken bouillon granules
salt & pepper to taste (about 3/4 teaspoon each)
5 TBSP butter
5 TBSP flour
2 cups whole milk
* I had pre-cooked boneless ham steaks on hand. I wanted them to have a richer, smokier flavor before using them in the soup so I fried my diced pieces just for a few minutes.
1. In a stockpot, bring the potatoes, ham, onion and celery to a boil. Cook until potatoes are soft (10-15 minutes). Stir in chicken bouillon granules, salt & pepper.
2. In a separate saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in flour. Start whisking in milk until it's all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Stir over medium heat until thickened (4-5 minutes).
3. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot. Cook until heated through. Best if served immediately.
Now go make some soup! And it makes great leftovers!
