Does anyone eat mush?

Ok, here's what I do for Potato Soup:

I chop up about 1 good size onion and about 3/4 c. of celery

I fry that in a dollop of butter in the soup pan just until they are soft and translucent.

Then I put in about 5 or 6 good sized white potatoes that I've peeled and cut into cubes about 1" square. Put just enough water over those potatoes to cover them. Not too much. Then boil them until they are done.

When the potatoes are done, take about 1/2 of them out of the pan and run them thru your blender to chop them up completely (mash 'em fine!). Add them back to the pan. Then pour in 1 large can of chicken broth, about 1/2 lb. finely chopped honey maple ham, 1 block of Velveeta cheese and about 1/4 gallon of milk. Heat that all together until the cheese melts. That's it. You're done.

It's really a very easy soup to make. It does make alot tho, so make sure you have plenty of people to feed when you make it. Enjoy.

When I make it, I make something completely different for me. But like I said, I get requests for it for potlucks and other dinners all the time. So it must be pretty good I guess. Let me know what you think.

Good Gracious, margie3, that soup sounds delicious....but do you have a "fat and carb" count? That would probably have a 1000 calories or more per serving the way I eat a serving of potato soup.

Scrapple is basically cornmeal mush, with about 30% meat scraps and broth that is cooked from bones.

A staple in the Penn. Dutch communities.

This makes me think about mincemeat pie.

I suppose you could. But I don't think it would be quite as good. Try it and let us know what you think.

It all sounds good!

[dizzyde]

Except for the potato soup, you all are whack!!


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!!
