Strawberry Soup Recipe from Disney’s Grand Floridian

strawberry soup

 

I have wanted to try this soup forever, but haven’t had the chance.  I’ll be staying at the Grand Floridian Resort in about a month for the Food Blogger Forum Conference.  But I’m not sure I’ll have a chance to eat at 1900 Park Fare, where they serve this soup.

To be fair, I did not use the exact recipe from the Grand Floridian.  Here’s the original:

Strawberry Soup-1

 

The strawberries I used were sweetened, so I know our soup was much sweeter than the original.  And I decided to lighten it up a bit by subbing out the heavy cream.  I also used light sour cream in place of the regular and the yogurt.  I would have used plain yogurt instead, but I was out.  Use what you’ve got!

Before we get to the recipe, I want to highlight one of the site sponsors, The Magic for Less.

A Sour Cream Haiku

Awesome sour cream
Stirred into breads and muffins
Dollops on tacos

I know.  That’s probably the best haiku you’ve read this morning.

Have I ever mentioned that my first blog was a poetry blog where I shared lots and lots of haiku?  There may be a good reason why I don’t post on that blog anymore.

Despite my bad poetry, sour cream is awesome.  And so is plain yogurt, which can be substituted when you want less fat in the finished dish.

Here are some of my favorite recipes that have sour cream or yogurt:  [Read more…] about Ingredient Spotlight: Sour Cream and Yogurt

Loaded Cheesy Potato Casserole

The credit for this recipe goes entirely to my sister.  She knows how to kick things up a notch or three.

This variation on Hashbrown Casserole includes peppers, bacon, extra sour cream and french fried onions on top.  It may not win any nutrition awards, but I guarantee if you take it to a potluck your dish will come home empty.

Here’s what you’ll need (add a container of french fried onion topping that didn’t make it into the photo):   [Read more…] about Loaded Cheesy Potato Casserole

This is a guest post from Ashley at AP Freewriting 101. If you are interested in guest posting on Eat at Home, contact me with your ideas.

I have a LOT on my plate during any given day:

  • Taking care of my kids: 23mo boy and 3.5yo girl
  • Working on my school work as I attempt to complete a two-year Masters degree program in one-year
  • Homeschooling my advanced preschooler
  • Blogging encouragement to women
  • Attempting to keep my house clean and my husband fed

By the time dinner rolls around, I’m pretty beat. I don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen at the end of a tiring day, and yet I don’t want to pay a hefty price for carry-out food. My solution? Quick, easy, and inexpensive pantry meals. [Read more…] about Hamburger Stroganoff
