Fall is in the Air

Yesterday was just delightful!

We slept in late.  We woke up to a nice autumn chill!  The temperature change was celebrated by my entire tribe.  During morning recess it was decided we should all wait and have a late lunch....if Mama would make Potato Soup.....PLEASE!!!

Well...how could I say no?

Since it wasn't on the menu...I didn't have everything I needed for the prescribed recipe....so we compromised....and it was YUMMY!

Potato Chowder Soup how we made it......
2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/4 cup chopped onion
1t. salt
2 cups milk
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 package frozen corn nibblets in light butter sauce
2 1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
Crumbled Bacon and sour cream for garnish

(I doubled this recipe and we had leftovers)

Place potato, carrots, onion and salt in a large pot covered with water.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.  Meanwhile Combine milk and flour in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.  Stir constantly until it is smooth and thick.  Pour milk mixture into cooked vegetables.  Stir in corn and Cheese.  Let corn get warm and butter and cheese melt.  Serve garnished with a dollop of sour cream and crumbled bacon....YUM YUM!

I will definitely be making this again this fall!
Hope you have a great weekend.
