My mom made Potato Soup.
This isn’t her recipe – if she had one. I used to be by no means blissful once I obtained dwelling from my newspaper route (I used to be the city paperboy) and noticed potato soup simmering on the range.
She normally made it throughout Lent and virtually at all times made it with out meat (no bacon!) however with plenty of celery.
It tasted like celery soup – with out bacon.
These soups want bacon or ham.
If this have been made in Europe it will be puréed.
I depart it chunky – American-style.
As to the substances – there are as many variations as there are cooks. Some thicken it with flour; some prefer it thick, some skinny; some use heavy cream, others don’t; some use carrots, some wouldn’t consider it. My mom solely used potatoes, celery, and onion.
It’s soup = it’s versatile.

For one thing a bit spicier (additionally my recipe…) Goulash Soup
I simply ate the final Christmas cookie.
I needed to conceal it.
Christmas is all packed away.
Aside from the placemats and napkins that require ironing.
I doubt very a lot that I’ll truly iron them, however they’ll sit on the mattress within the visitor room for just a few weeks till I admit procrastination gained once more, and put them away.
Subsequent December I’ll take them out, determine that they actually look superb and begin utilizing them as is.
I’m an amazing believer in avoiding any and all pointless home chores.
I’m beginning to consider that the majority (not all) home chores are pointless.
