Uh, uh, this California girl doesn't do that grits, mush, whatever else mess you want to call it!!
Although, my Arkansas bred great-grandma could make some mean chocolate gravy!!
HAHA! I rememeber the first time my MIL made chocolate gravy... I thought I was going to throw up! But then I tasted it and it tasted like pudding, I said why do they call it gravy? If it had another name people would not be so afraid of it, but I guess if you call it gravy, then you can have it for breakfast!
That is still a story she loves to tell!

Well, no offense Margie, but I think MY Mother makes the best potato soup in the world!!!! (Although, I'm going to try your recipe--my kids love cheese, so they will probably love your soup!)
Here's her recipe:
Mom’s Potato Soup
Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 Potatoes, washed, peeled & cubed
4 c. water
½ onion, chopped, sautéed in butter
½ stick butter
1 quart of half n half or cream
4 slices crisply fried bacon, crumbled
1 can corn, drained, or equal amt. of fresh or frozen
fresh parsley, washed, drained, coarsely chopped
Salt & pepper to taste (fine salt & coarse pepper)
Boil potatoes in water until tender. Drain off about 1 c. water. Add cream, onions, corn, butter, salt & pepper. Heat through over medium/low heat, thicken with cornstarch if necessary. Spoon into serving bowls and top with bacon and parsley. Serve with toasted bread or homemade croutons.
JaneEyre, this is one recipe I haven't managed (or even tried) to slim down...so I'm sure it has lots of fat and calories per serving, too.
I will say--you have to use real butter, and real cream or half & half, or this recipe will not be nearly as good!!!

LOL!!! My kids just had chocolate gravy for the first time, when we went out to North Carolina to visit my husband's parents in June. I managed to politely eat a bit of it on a biscuit (it wasn't TERRIBLE ), but my kids LOVED it! They want ME to make it now. *sigh*
