Baked Potato Soup

November 7, 2009 by Tiffany King 20 Comments

My only complaint about this soup is that we only had enough left over for 3 people to have it for lunch the next day. It was so good, next time I’ll make a bigger batch.

I accidentally altered it a tiny bit from the recipe. I didn’t even realize that I’d made the mistake until I woke up at 1am and remembered that I hadn’t put the sour cream into the soup. Honestly, the soup was so good without it, I doubt I’ll ever add sour cream. (Am I the only one who wakes up in the middle of the night thinking about stupid things like sour cream in soup?)

Garlic Potatoes

I saw a recipe on Pioneer Woman the other day for Roasted Garlic and New Potatoes and I really wanted to try it. However, I lacked a few ingredients – mainly the new potatoes and wine. Not one to let a few missing ingredients get in my way, I improvised and the result was delish. [Read more…] about Garlic Potatoes

Cool weather is creeping in on us. It’s time to pull on a sweater and pull out the soup recipes. This potato soup is not fancy or dressed up. It’s comforting, like your favorite sweat shirt. Warm, nourishing, inexpensive, quick and easy. Add hot Cornbread or Graham Muffins and you have a homemade meal in less than 30 minutes.

Black Angus Potatoes Au Gratin

Many years ago, I was a young newly-wed with no idea how to cook. I wanted to learn though, so I spent hours pouring over cookbooks, copying recipes, watching the Frugal Gourmet on PBS and spending a large percentage of our meager grocery budget to cook one nice meal a week. We would invite friends over, all hungry college students, and have dinner together.

One of the recipes I copied in my cookbook journal was this one for Au Gratin Potatoes. I think I made it for Easter one year, when we couldn’t get home to celebrate. I’ve made it many times since and it’s always a hit.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Cottage Pie

While browsing through Disney recipes at allears.net a few weeks ago, I discovered this gem. A lot of the Disney recipes are complicated and not something that you’d want to create in your kitchen on an ordinary week night. But this recipe from the Rose and Crown restaurant in England in EPCOT stands out from the crowd. It has week night supper written all over it, especially after a few adaptations. Put on Illuminations music, pretend you’ve snagged a water front table at Rose and Crown for the excellent fireworks show and eat up. Tuesday night doesn’t get any better 😉
