It is cold and snowy... time for soup. I made 2 favorites yesterday. I divided a package of kielbasa and a 5# bag of red potatoes into them. Oh, I made some mashed potatoes as well. Mix up the golden potato and while it cooks prep white bean potato for a crock pot dinner tomorrow. The golden potato also freezes really well, I doubted that it but in deed it does!
Golden Potato Soup, adapted from allrecipes.com
2# (6 cups) red potatoes, diced
1 c onion, diced
1 c celery diced
1/2 package of kielbasa sausage, diced
2 c chicken broth or water and bouillon
1 t parsley
salt/pepper
Put all ingredients in dutch oven, cover, cook until potatoes are soft. Whisk together:
1 1/2 T flour
3 c milk or 3 c water and 1 c powdered milk
Pour into pot and bring to a boil. Remember milk burns easily. Then add:
1 1/2 c cheddar cheese
1/2 package of kielbasa sausage, diced
Stir until cheese is melted and enjoy!
White bean potato soup, adapted from allrecipes.com
1 # white bean, soaked overnight and drained
2# red potatoes, diced
1/2 package of kielbasa sausage, diced
5 cups chicken broth or water and bouillon
1 c onion, diced
2-3 T Italian seasoning
2-3 T garlic powder
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
Optional: 1 bunch of kale
Salt/pepper
This is easy prep so everything is ready to dump in the crock pot in the morning. Put beans in bowl and cover with a lot of water. Put broth, potatoes, sausage, and seasoning in crock and place in the fridge. In the morning drain the beans and put them in the crock. Place the crock in the crock pot and let sit on low all day. Add the tomatoes at the end because the acid will keep the beans from cooking. Enjoy!
