Outback Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• Potatoes (6-8 depending on the size)
• 1 Onion, diced
• 4 14oz cans of chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• Celery salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 1 dash of basil
• 1 dash of sugar
• 2 sticks of butter
• 3/4 cup of flour
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Garnish

• 4-6 pieces of cooked bacon, chopped
• Chopped chives (amount depends on your preference – I like a lot)
• 2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack / Cheddar cheese blend.

Directions

1. Boil the potatoes, peel and set aside (someone suggested you rub with kosher sale and bake the potatoes, leaving the skin on)
2. In a large soup pot, melt the butter over a low to medium heat, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the onion and cook until softened.
4. Add the flour and stir while it cooks for about 3 minutes.
5. Slowly add the chicken broth, water, salt, pepper, basil and sugar.
6. Bring to a boil, stirring often with a wire whisk.
7. Gradually add the heavy cream until you’ve reached the proper consistency.
8. Chop the potatoes into bite sized cubes and add to the soup.
9. Simmer for approximately 5 minutes to bring the potatoes to temperature.
10. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish with chopped bacon, chives and the cheese blend.
11. Enjoy!

We loved this soup. So yummy on a cool, Florida evening with a salad and crusty bread for dipping.

Breakfast for Dinner

 We do breakfast for dinner at least once every couple of weeks. Breakfast for dinner is also quite economical because most of the ingredients needed are already in your pantry and refrigerator and can be put together quite easily.
Tonight we had French Toast, Bacon and Apple Slices. Some other breakfast ideas for dinner are:

•  Pancakes (We do many different flavors; Banana, Blueberry, Chocolate chip and sometimes we add sprinkles and call them Confetti Pancakes) 
• Homemade waffles 
• Omelets (which my oldest son used to call Wallets)
•  Hole in Ones (if you don't know what these are I will post a picture next time I make them)
•  Breakfast Casserole (so many different versions; I will post these when I make them) What other ideas do you have for breakfast for dinner? Please post ideas in the comments section.
