A novice soup experiment

[TEB]

I bought some of the bear creek instant potato soup mix. My wife is out marching today and not sure how to make rue like she does with her soup. i Was going to go and March My friend even knitted me a pink hat but still dragging from chest cold. So I heat up the instant mix. Then to jazz it up I added.

Bag of frozen hash browns
Quite a bit of diced ham
Onion
Swiss cheese to thicken it
Lot of black pepper
So our Boys they love to cook they went and added instant potatoes they were like should we try it dad. Yea sure guys man did it get thick so we added whole milk to thin it out. But either we’re total guys that eats our own cooking or it really is not bad tasting.
Ok update the one son just added a bag of smoky bacon cheese.

1. Sounds pretty good to me!

[TEB]

2. Thank you

[Hortensis]

13. Sounds wonderful to me. You guys cooked up some

good memories there too.

Btw, it's already fast and easy, with lots of cheese. You guys might have fun posting your recipe to AllRecipes.com. Probably should list a soup mix that's in most supermarkets, though. And if you cared to, adding bacon to an ingredients list that already has cheese can ultimately generate a pack of positive reviews.

14. We stumbled into it

We’re like hey it tastes almost like your moms.

[Hortensis]

15. :) I came back and added a suggestion. I'm guessing

your boys will be taking this lesson off to college and eventually introduce their own kids to it.

16. It was bear Creek instant mix

My wife makes great potato soup but she was marching yesterday. And I bought it and we went swag scientific wild ass guess ham Swiss cheese onion hash browns. my wife and daughters ate some when they got home. The guys love home economics in seventh grade so it was great time.

[Hortensis]

17. Great. Especially their good and fun home ec class.

We immediately pulled our daughter out of hers, long ago now, when we discovered there was no budget ("cutting the fat" tax cuts) for actual food, so cooking was going to be taught from mimeographed sheets, answering multiple-choice questions.

18. Oh my

That is terrible for your daughter I was surprised last year it was mandatory. And they loved it this year they chose it as a elective and they enjoy it. And as well as conversational German. So my German from thirty years ago is improving once again😁

[Hortensis]

19. German, really? I took German 50 years ago when it

was still considered the language of science. At least by some. A hundred nations had also already become centers of scientific research by then, of course. But that's great. It'll be a real asset.

[TEB]

20. I was kid army 30 years ago

And for like 20 months I picked up the language. But probably not on a decent level but our sons their helping dad.

[Hortensis]

21. Cool sons. :)

3. i always add instant spuds to my potato soup...and sour cream!

[TEB]

4. Awesome idea sour cream

5. Sure sounds to me like the real benefit of the soup was the fun you and the boys had making it.

Did the dogs help out too? 😉

[TEB]

6. No their chewing new bones and occupied

It is new bone day I just bought three new bones. And their all well it kind of reminds me of Humphrey bogarts Sierra madre because their like to each other jealous I have a bone and dog paranoid don’t look at my bone grrrrrrr

[MLAA]

7. New bone day is the best day!
