That Spinach Soup looks like my usual ‘Friday Night Clean Out The Fridge’ Soup. ;)
I swear, aside from the Chicken, canned creamed corn is one of God’s greatest gifts to Mankind! :)
My Grandma Edith: “If you keep a few boiled potatoes in the fridge and ready to go, you can ALWAYS make a meal around that!”
Still true, Grandma! :)
Potatoes are food of the gods.
I recently discovered the assets of the boxed dehydrated scalloped and au gratin potatoes when I needed something quick.
I did some Googling and learned you can make potato soup from them, too. I’m going to experiment and try to make the Olive Garden Toscano soup with them.
Seems like a smart thing to have several boxes in the pantry, just because.
My first thought was “anything from the garden but tomatoes soup”
Since I’m posting about pigs & others are posting about potatoes, here’s a casserole recipe I have saved ... haven’t made it yet, but it’s on the list to make ‘soon’. I had a potato ham casserole I made years ago & loved it ... can’t find it (doggone it). This looks like a good substitute:
Ham, Cheese, and Potato Casserole

“This ham, cheese, and potato casserole is our new definition of decadent comfort food. Layers of cooked ham, thinly sliced potatoes, shallots, and gooey cheese are baked in a rich cream sauce until crispy and golden.”

What’s better than bacon .... maybe candied bacon? LOL Since I was getting Butcher Boxes (a gift ... I can’t personally afford it), this recipe came up when I was looking around on their site.
Candied Bacon

“We’re not sure there’s anything better than crispy, savory bacon. But these days, candied bacon makes a strong contender for the brunch, bar and Bloody-Mary-topping favorite. This simple recipe from Chef Yankel features ButcherBox bacon, maple syrup, sriracha, and brown sugar.”
