Months ago, our church decided to put together a cookbook. Andrew's Nana bought a copy for me and gave it to me this past Sunday. I was so excited to get home and use it.
I decided on Cheesy Potato Soup. We went to the store and purchased the ingredients.
10 or so red potatoes.
4 cans cheddar cheese soup.
2 cans cream of broccoli soup.
6 cans milk.
1-2 packages crumbled bacon.
Dice potatoes.
Dump in crockpot.
Add remainder of ingredients.
This is where I became skeptical.
Fry bacon.
Drain grease.
Add to crockpot.
After this, things went wrong. Really, really wrong.
I ALWAYS taste-test throughout the cooking process. If I won't eat it, I won't serve it. I'm a finicky cook... I want it to be just right.
So... I tasted.
And gagged.
It was awful. The consistency was terrible, the taste was awful, and it was completely wrong. I'm not saying that it's not a good recipe- to each his own. BUT, there was no way that I was going to serve it.
Soo... I drained THREE CUPS of the broth and added:
8 chicken buillion cubes
2 cups of water
8 ounces sour cream
Chives
Salt
LOTS of pepper
And...
... when supper came around it was edible.
Andrew liked it... he even got a second helping.
I still think it's because he didn't want me to feel bad.
I didn't gag when it came time for dinner, and I saved some for leftovers, so it really wasn't too bad.
Needless to say, I will not use this recipe again; however, I'm very excited to use other recipes in this cookbook. Also, if you feel like you may like this recipe, feel free to use it- and let me know if your tastebuds agree with it.
