So tonight after an hour of shuffling between kiddos rooms trying to get them all to sleep (hubby had a mtg), not eating dinner until after 8, and reflecting on all left to do (yes I know of my own doing)...my RECIPE for not tasting the crazies was tasting the rainbow.
Now no one fret about the state of my emotions...I am really just dandy...see skittles working already. So here is my actual recipe. Here is my "Fall I Embrace Thee" soup...aka Baked Potato Soup.
2-3 potatoes, baked
3 T butter
1 cup onion, chopped
2 T flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cups instant mashed potatoes
1 t salt
3/4 t pepper
1/8 t thyme
1/2 t basil
1 cup half-and-half
Melt butter in stock pot, saute onions until light brown. Add flour to onions and cook 1-2 minutes. Add broth, water, cornstarch, mashed potatoes and spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
Cut baked potatoes in half, scoring into cubes and then scoop out the cubes into soup. Add the half-and-half. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
Top with shredded cheese, green onions, bacon and sour cream.
Here is to tomorrow.

Thank you! I do admit, I was checking throughout the day to see if you had posted it yet. This looks like another super yummy one.
How funny! I'm having that for dinner tonight! There's nothing better than a big bowl of soup on a cold day. Thanks!
Its payday for us and you know what that means. Time to make yet another shopping list. Good thing i checked into your blog cause I had to put this on my list of dinners for this pay period and boy am I excited. looks very yummy. now all we need is a cold chilly day. thanks again.
We can testify to the fact that this was YUMMY, and filling, too. Course eating with the "chef" and her assistant made it even better! Gram Z.
I'm going to try this. I love soup in the fall!
