Quick addition to tonight's dinner - fantastic potato soup!

January 21st, 2007 at 01:40 am

My son got very cold at work and I was very cold after picking him up so I thought I'd make potato soup. We haven't had that in years and it just sounded so good. So I made it and I have to say this was the best potato soup I've ever had, mine or someone else's. Here's what I did.

I peeled and cut up 4 small to medium potatoes and 1 slice onion and boiled both in water until tender. Then I drained most of the water but left about a cup. I put the pan back on the stove top over a very low flame and added 2 teaspoons of Smart Balance, a few shakes of powdered garlic, about half a teaspoon of powdered chicken bouillon, a shake or two of Tony's, a dash of black pepper, and a couple shakes of crushed red pepper. I gently stirred it a bit and when it was well mixed, I added about 3/4 cup milk. I heated it well, stirring and letting it thicken. Right before I removed it from the heat I added a few shakes of imitation bacon bits. I prefer crisp turkey bacon but we're out of that so I used what I had.

It's great potato soup - spicy and very full of flavor! It's also pretty to look at! I'll make this again. I'm not much of a photographer but maybe the picture is enough to prompt you to try it.

    Sounds good. What is Tony's? Is that a spice mix?

    Oh, Tony's is Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning. Here's more about it:
