For my household, it was a snowday. I got to stay home from my "real job", my son was home from school, we kept my youngest son home from daycare, and my husband worked from home. It was lovely. And what better way to top off our day at home than to eat a warm, comforting bowl of cheesy potato soup.
Can I just say, this is seriously the easiest recipe ever. The prep work for it is simple, and then you add a few store bought ingredients and go out the door. LOVE IT! I'm all about little work for big reward. After all, I'm a girl who wants it all; family, career, yummy food and time to enjoy it all! :)
So - after adding the ingredients from the freezer, plus a couple extras, it cooks all day. At the end, you do a couple of things, and then it looks like this:
This was TRULY delicious. I mean, YUM. It is warm, and creamy, and comforting. My 6 year old LOVED it. Both my 6 year old and my husband, though, thought that I should have added more bacon to it. :)
My husband and I are thinking of using this as a base recipe for several other soups. We're going to play with it a little, so you'll probably see some variations of it in the months to come.
This one was a hit. I can't wait to have it for lunch tomorrow!
Freezer/crockpot idea is great. I also saw the idea on Pinterest, but you have taken a step further. Your spreadsheet and shopping list are great. Thank you for sharing it. I look forward to following your blog.
