But it was so good...

Yes, it is possible to eat so much soup you WANT to well... be unconscious at least!  

I actually got a little creative Sunday afternoon... a rare occurence in MY kitchen!  I had some potatoes and was trying to decide what to do with them when it hit me... SOUP!  I could make potato soup.  Well, that sounded a little too boring, so I got out several cookbooks, looked up all the recipes for soups involving potatoes... CLOSED all my cookbooks and just started 'inventing' my own potato soup.

Well, I sauteed onions and garlic in olive oil... added 5 large diced potatoes and barely covered with water... added some salt and pepper and cooked all that until the potatoes were almost done... then I chopped, fresh mushrooms, a chopped carrot and (try not to turn up your nose), chopped frozen spinach.  I cooked that until they were done... THEN I added a flour and milk mixture to thicken... added more milk until it was just right... and then ended with a little butter.  All the while, I was seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper until I got it just right.  Then, I topped it with shredded cheddar cheese!

And OH, was it just right!  It's been a long time since I ate until I was sick, but Sunday... I DID!  I was miserable!  Good thing I don't get 'creative' very often!  Watch out Rachel Ray!
