I was going to make Alfredo potatoes tonight, but I figured I'd save the Alfredo sauce for the mac and cheese (don't ask).
So instead I have chopped potatoes, onion, basil, parsley flakes, garlic, ham, two cans of cream of potato (because I wanted to get rid of it), and some chicken broth in the crock pot to make a potato ham cheese soup. Well, sure, why not *sarcasm*? It's only going to get up into the 80s next week again (I really have to work on cooking food to fit the season).
Anyway, when the potatoes are tender, I'll add cheese and sour cream. From the look of things, though, I may be eating at midnight. Ah, well.
There is always one little catch to me cooking anything on the fly, though. This time it's I didn't pay any attention to the number of potatoes I had. After I added the 5 potatoes, half an onion, 2 cans of cream of potato, and 3 cups of chicken broth to a 3.5 quart crock pot, things are looking a little crowded. At this point, it's a given that the cheese and sour cream are going to have to be added to the soup when it's in a larger bowl. A much, much, MUCH larger bowl.
