Just for you, Lauren:
Farm Wife's Potato Soup
5 lbs of potatoes, peeled, diced, cooked, & drained
4 Tbs butter
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 small red/yellow onion, diced
4-5 shredded carrots
2 cups cubed, cooked ham
3-4 c. ham broth
3-4 c. milk (more or less to taste)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 pint heavy cream (opt.)
Saute the onions and celery in the butter until they begin to cook through (become translucent). Combine all ingredients and bring to a slow boil. Simmer until everything is cooked through. Ignore your husband's comments about how his potato soup is much better and enjoy.
BTW, Husband's potato soup is:
cooked potatoes, 2 family sized cans of Cream of Mushroom soup, 1 lb of cheese slices, 1-2 C. milk. Combine and heat. Not for me, thank you.

Thanks! I'll have to try it... my hubby wouldn't touch your husband's soup with a pitchfork, he hates cheesy soups. (yes, the man who grew up in the great cheese state hates cheesy soups). but I might be able to get him to try yours!
Mmmmmm, that would be perfect for a day of decorating the tree.
