potato soup

[John(videodoc)]

Just had to share this receipe. Wife's been making this for me awhile, and it has become a regular at our house since she/found created it.
Potato Soup

6 medium sized potato’s, peeled, and cubed
1 medium onion diced
1 stick of butter
1 ½ Cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb of Italian Sausage (Jimmy Dean)
1 12oz Can evaporated milk

-Place potato’s and onion in large pan, fill with water, about ¼ inch above contents. (higher water level, the more “soupy” the end product will be, less water, thicker it will be) Bring to a boil and simmer until tender. (20-30 minutes)

-1 lb of Jimmy Dean Italian sausage, crumbled and fry

-Once potato’s are tender, add 1 can evaporated milk, sausage, cheese, butter. Turn heat to medium/low, ready to severe in a couple of minutes. Should serve 4 people.

-I like to sprinkle a few Frito Lay SCOOPS chips on top. For the salt content and the crunchiness.

I moved this to the "Better~Half" forum as that seems to be the popular place for recipes.

Wish I had a bowl of that right now. Sounds Yummy and I love potato soup.

[Harold R]

Doc, I tried your recipe today. I had some frozen sweet Italian sausage in the freezer which had to be used, so I whipped up a batch of potato soup! I really like it. It has a very good flavor. However, I think that I should have used your recommended sausage. Mine had been coarse ground and I would have liked smaller pieces. I was going to start chopping it in the pan while frying, but "The Boss" don't like me doing that to Teflon skillets! Thanks for the recipe. It's a keeper. We both liked it.It's getting harder and harder to please her. Larry

We made some for supper tonight. Very good with buttered hard rolls.
Not hard to make either.

Hi John,

I'm about to see if I can make some here at my house. One question is it 1 & 1/2 cups of cheese or just 1/2 cup of cheese?

Thanks,

Lance

[John(videodoc)]

one and 1/2 cup should be fine, but the more the merrier
