Sunday was cool and rainy - perfect soup day, and one of the things the Walker girls all like is potato soup. I’ve posted before about Bev’s potato soup, but it is potatoes, water, butter, milk, a little flour for thickening and S&P and she will not hear of anything else being in it. This is one of those the-way-Mom-fixed-it deals we all seem to have. I have several delicious sounding potato soup recipes saved, but I’ll have to call them something else to get them by her.
So for lunch today before the kids left, Bev made up a batch of soup and a pan of cornbread. While she doesn’t like stuff cooked in her soup, she does like to adorn it – in this case with bacon, green onion, cheddar and smoked gouda cheese. We just filled each persons bowl as they filed by and they added their own extras.
Here’s the cornbread Upside down on the dish and my plate.
Pretty good rainy day lunch I'll have to say.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

A lovely looking soup - and such a good idea to let everyone add their own toppings. Confess I'd be looking for some finely sliced spring onions (scallions) - a hangover from my Irish Grandpa and His Folks' love of Champ.
ReplyDeleteMom mom made potato soup the same way as Bev's mom and to this day that's the way I make it. Have to admit, I like the offerings of toppings. Sounds like a great rainy weather meal.
ReplyDeleteThat's the sort of soup I grew up with, too, but I'm an adventurous eater and like to try different foods. Still, I love all the toppings - what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteBetter than pretty good. It is a great rainy day lunch. I like the idea of using the other ingredients as individual add-ins. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteYum.... Tater soup and cornbread sounds great --especially on a cold, foggy, drizzly day!!!!! YUMMMMMM...

Looks like a great lunch. I'm with Bev on not having extra stuff in my soup.
ReplyDeleteYou just can't beat a bowl of potato soup - it looks great!
ReplyDeleteLarry, Needless to say, I like the way Beverly does her potato soup! Optional toppings are the thing for me. Cheese and bacon, that's the ticket! ...plus a little Tabasco... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
