I've eaten canned soup most of my adult life, I had no idea it's so easy to make them from scratch! This recipe is from my sister in law's side of the family. She serves her potato soup with toasted cheese sandwiches and it's very delicious.

Also, to make oyster stew, she simply makes this potato soup then adds a can of oysters to it!

Grandma Louise Potato Soup

Sautee a large diced onion and approx 3 stalks of celery in butter in the bottom of your soup kettle. Include the little celery leaves to make it like Grandma L's soup! Add diced bacon if you have it or want it.

When the onion and celery are soft, add diced potato and 2 cups chicken broth.

Bring to a boil and simmer until potato is cooked. Now add milk to make the amount of soup you want. Salt & pepper to taste.

That's it!

This recipe is very flexible. You can use any kind of milk, or canned milk, or half & half, or part cream. Whatever.

You can use chicken broth or just salted water to cook the potatoes.

And you can make "more" or "less" depending on how many potatoes you use and how much milk you add.

Homemade deviled ham sandwiches go well with a hot bowl of soup!

Deviled Ham Spread

1.5 lbs cooked ham
2 boiled eggs, peeled
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 celery stalks + Green leaves
1/2 cup dill pickles
1/2 cup black olives
1 tsp celery seed
Fresh ground pepper
Spicy mustard & mayonnaise to taste

Process everything except the celery seeds, mustard & mayo in a good processor until smooth & spreadable

Add seasoning & mustard & mayo until desired consistency.

Serve with crackers or on sandwich bread.

Note that no salt was mentioned. Ham is often already salty, plus crackers will be too. If desired, add more but taste before you do so it's not too much.

Enjoy!

Goat head soup? I will look up a recipe for it! :-)

I've never eaten Jamaican food. I've eaten fish head soup, it was very delicious! My co-worker made it for the center and it was the best soup I'd eaten in my life! :-)

I've never heard of or eaten coco bread! I would find dining with you, a very interesting experience! :-)

Don't forget your four legged fury friends!

Homemade dog treats

Preheat oven 350 degrees

2 cups flour or mix 1 cup flour with 1 cup rolled oats
2 (4 oz) jars of puréed vegetable baby food; make sure there is no onion or garlic added. Try peas, carrots, green beans, squash, sweet potato, etc...
1 Tablespoon parsley

Mix together to form a stiff dough. Add extra water or more flour if needed

Roll dough out on lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick, can cut with a knife or cookie cutters or the rim of a glass to make "cookies'

Bake 20-25 mins on cookie sheet with parchment paper

Cool completely before storing in a paper bag!

Great gift idea to give to your friends & family with dogs.

Enjoy!



:wub: :wub:

A good idea! I have "fury friends" I can make these for, and a little one who will have fun feeding them!
Plus 1, my little ones had so much fun making these for the furry family members we have! :wub: :wub:
The Furry Family Members had a great time eating them, too!

The next batch we'll make will include peanut butter and possibly some cheese.

Until further notice, there are no more cooking classes in the schedule until after rich middle aged nasty white people leave my life.
