Soups
Quilt Soup
I'm sure this has been mentioned before. Carol Doak had passed this idea on to me once. When gathering for a quilting bee, guild board meeting, or mini group this has always been a hit. The hostess would put on a stock pot of broth (of her choice) and each guest brought something to add. Be it a meat, vegetable, or starch. The seasonings were also brought by guests. Fresh bread & butter was served. And a salad was optional!
They were always surprised and enjoyed each concoction. No fuss or expectations required. How simple & good life can be.
POTATO SOUP
Slow cooker on low
- 1 - 2 pound bag frozen shredded hash browns
- 1/4 pound Velveeta cheese diced up
- 1 can Cream of Chicken soup
- 1 soup can of water
- diced onion to your liking
Put onion in a microwave safe dish and empty in the can of water. Microwave the onions for a couple of minutes to tenderize.
Now pour this mixture over the Velveeta and soup that has been put in a microwave safe bowl and blend and heat slightly in the microwave.
Fold into the shredded hash brown and do not add any more water. It seems there is a lot of "water" in these potatoes and as they cook the liquid increases.
If I walk through the kitchen I do lift the lid and give it a stir occasionally.
It takes 4 - 6 hours to cook and is so good. I serve it with a salad and a fresh baked roll. Great evening meal for our cold winter days.
