Oops Potato Soup

I was making Scalloped Potatoes for dinner last night and somehow I accidentally added in too much water. Perhaps I was distracted by too many boys in the kitchen. When the Scalloped Potatoes made it out of the oven they were super soupy, even too soupy for Dylan to eat. What will I do with this failed dish…. Blend it up and call it Oops Potato Soup!

I waited until the Scalloped Potatoes cooled a bit, and then I carefully spooned them in to the Blender.

I added in a little Whole Milk until I got a nice smooth constancy.

Since we had already had dinner, I put the Potato Soup in a container, and its off to the freezer for later.

I think when I reheat the soup I’ll (accidentally) add in a little Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Chopped Broccoli, and maybe even a little crumbled Bacon.

I think the soup would go great with Grilled Cheese sandwiches, or Bacon Sandwiches, although you can never go wrong with Homemade Garlic Toast or Crunchy Croutons. I just might like Scalloped Potatoes even better as Oops Potato Soup.

Apples and Pears

This Fall a good friend of the family went out and picked at a local orchard once the season was finished. He visited my husband at work, and asked if I could use a few Apples and Pears. I told James, of course!

For about a week James came home everyday with two big bags of fruit. I think I ended up with about a 1/2 bushel of Apples and 1/2 bushel of Pears. Time to find some recipes for all of this fruit.

I see a lot of Apple Pies in our future, and I had better bake one for our friend to say thanks!
