WHATS ON THE MENU..

LAST NIGHT WE ENJOYED A  FALL MEAL...

POTATO SOUP, SALAD, BREAD AND RED VELVET CAKE FOR DESERT...

NOW I KNOW A LOT OF YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE POTATO SOUP BUT I AM SHOWING MY WAY..JUST IN CASE SOMEONE OUT THERE NEEDS SOME HELP..

START BY PEELING YOUR POTATOES. I AM USING JUST A REGULAR WHITE POTATO. ALSO THIS FINGER PEELER WORKS REALLY WELL FOR JUST TAKING OFF THE SKIN AND NOT MUCH OF THE POTATO.

RINSE THE POTATOES OFF..

THEN DO A SMALL DICE ON THE POTATOES.

AND RIGHT INTO THE POT THEY GO..

I DO A SMALL DICE ON 2 MED SIZED ONIONS..AND INTO THE POT THEY GO TOO.

THEN I FILL THE POT WITH JUST ENOUGH WATER TO COVER THE POTATOES..

IN THE MEAN TIME I CHOP UP ABOUT 10 SLICES OF BACON AND COOK TILL CRISPY..

THATS ONE OF THE TOPPINGS I SIT OUT FOR THE SOUP..

I LET THE POTATOES COME TO A MED SOFT POINT. I DONT WANT THEM TOO SOFT WHEN THEY GOING TO BE THE MAIN INGREDIENT IN THE SOUP..

FOR THE BREAD I AM TAKING THESE PRE MADE  ROLLS AND WARMING THEM IN THE OVEN FOR A FEW MINUTES RIGHT BEFORE DINNER..

I ALSO GOT THE CHEESE OUT AND ALSO GOT THE SCALLIONS DICED UP FOR THE OTHER TOPPINGS. I ADDED SOME NAPKINS FOR THE BACON TO DRAIN ON..

ONCE THE POTATOES ARE KINDA TENDER I ADD THE MILK. I NEVER MEASURE IT BUT I AM GUESSING BETWEEN 2 -3 CUPS..

THEN WITH A BIG POT LIKE THIS, I ADD A STICK OF BUTTER..

SOME SALT

SOME PEPPER..YOU COULD ALSO USE SOME WHITE PEPPER TOO..

AND I TAKE A SMALL PALM FULL OF GARLIC POWDER AND ADD IT TOO. IT REALLY GIVES THE POTATO SOUP A LITTLE MORE KICK..

THE SIDES ARE FINISHED..

TO THICKEN UP THE SOUP I ALWAYS ADD A LITTLE INSTANT MASHED POTATOES.

I GOT THE SALADS DONE AND THE THE TABLE SET..

AND DINNER WAS SERVED..

AND HERE IS THE YUMMY DESSERT THAT BABY PICKED OUT...

IT WAS THE PERFECT MEAL FOR THE COLD TEMPTURES OUTSIDE..AND THE GUYS EVEN TOOK THE LEFT OVER SOUP FOR LUNCH TODAY! SO I GUESS THEY LIKED IT!
