Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

[sourland]

Tonight I made burgers on the grill, left over mac and cheese and a tomato, Bibb lettuce, mozzarella, balsamic vinaigrette salad.

That sounds so good!
I have a recipe for loaded potato soup--It tastes like baked potatoes!

You might as well share that recipe now, please.

Loaded Potato Soup
YIELD: SERVES 6
PREP TIME:10 MINUTES
COOK TIME:35 MINUTES
TOTAL TIME:45 MINUTES

Ingredients:

• 8oz bacon, sliced
• 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
• 2 pounds russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 carton (26.1 ounces) Swanson® Cream Starter Traditional(sub: 2Cups chicken stock + 1.5Cups cream)
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 3 scallions, sliced

Directions:

1. In a large pot set over medium heat, cook the bacon for 7-8 minutes until crispy. Remove half of the bacon from the pot to a paper towel lined plate, then add the chopped onion along with a pinch of salt. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant.
2. Add the potato chunks to the pot and season generously with a big pinch of salt, and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add the Swanson Cream Starter and cook the soup for 15-20 minutes with the lid on, stirring every 5 minutes so the bottom of the pan doesn’t burn, until the potatoes are soft. Stir in the cheddar cheese and green onions, then serve immediately. Serve with desired garnishes on top, such as the reserved crumbled bacon, extra cheese, scallions, or sour cream. Enjoy!

Last night it was mozzarella/heirloom tomato/Bibb lettuce/balsamic vinaigrette, steak on the grill, sweet corn and ziti in vodka sauce. Tonight we're going 'simple' - hotdogs with sauerkraut, macaroni salad, and some apple sauce that I bought at the Amish market today.

Daughter stopped by for supper. I made stuffed peppers, mashed potatoes and yellow beans prefaced by an heirloom tomato/mozzarella/Bibb lettuce balsamic vinaigrette salad.

Last night we went to a baseball game. Grandson wasn't playing, but we were in baseball withdrawal so we went to see some other kids play. Complex makes some good chicken fingers so that was our supper.

Today I made a bunch of creamed spinach. Froze enough for 3 meals. I'm also cooking 2 big pots of stuffed peppers - enough for 8 meals or more.

Tonight we will have steak cooked on the grill, creamed spinach and potato casserole right after the Penn State game.
