Potato Soup from our Christmas Party

POTATO SOUP  (obtained from Betsy Brannon Green’s Copycat)

P.S. This is used in the book as a remedy for morning sickness…J

P.P.S. I can’t find my original copy, so I went from memory for our party. It seemed to work out.

1: 5 Lb Bag           Potatoes

2: 10 Oz Cans      Chicken Broth

1: 8 Oz Block       Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded

1: 10 Oz Can        Cream of Chicken

1: 10 Oz Can        Cream of Celery (or other flavor)

1: 16 Oz Tub        Sour Cream

1: Pint                   Half & Half

                                Ham, cubed (my personal addition)

 

Cut up potatoes and cook them in both cans of the chicken broth until they are no longer hard. Do not drain. Add shredded cheese and melt. Once the cheese is melted add the cream of soups, sour cream and half and half (and ham if you would like more of a main dish). Heat the soup through and enjoy.

Squash Casserole

2 lbs worth of veggies: squash zucchini, peppers, peas, mushrooms, onions
4 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
1-2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup of mayo
2 tsp of sugar
salt and pepper to taste
20 crackers, crushed (about 1 cup) or 1 cup bread crumbs
1 tbls butter, melted

Dice the veggies up into chunks. Saute your onions. Mix together the eggs, mayo, sugar, salt and pepper. Add the cheese and bacon. Then add all the veggies. Spoon into a greased 8x8 dish. Combine the crushed crackers and 1 tbls melted butter and sprinkle over the top of the casserole. Bake at 350 for 30 to 45 minutes or until it's set up in the middle.
