Sick wife wanted comfort food. Making it from scratch takes longer but is so much less expensive than glop from a can. Potatoes, onion, butter, salt, pepper.
Cost per person, 70ยข not including the pepper sauce. A standard can of condensed is almost three times the cost.

Would love a recipe if you have it. Looks delicious!
I would make this and throw in some Italian sausage and chopped kale

The recipe I used. I made it to letter in order to avoid ruining a comfort food and sleeping on the couch. But I'm all in favor of your ideas. Only after she ate it did she remember that I should have added bacon.

I used to do a potato leak soup all the time but my food desert makes leaks a very rare item.
I have gallons of stock on hand that I have canned myself. I do not believe in using it for when I will be discarding it, things like boiling pasta or potatoes in. It's too valuable a resource to drain off even if it's practically free.

Wow, I completely forgot I used to make potato soup religiously for years, and haven't done it at all for many more. You wonder how these things come and go in your repertoire.

I lived off bacon fat fried potatoes for a long time. I haven't made them in decades. My after school snack used to be a pound of pasta and a stick of butter with salt and pepper. Haven't made it since middle school.

I would come home from school, cut up an apple and put it on a plate of white sugar and cinnamon. Needless to say, I was a latchkey kid. I paid for it with fillings.

No latch for me. I may have seen my dad just once a month for about a year of middle school and then maybe twice a year the rest of the time. I needed 6000 calories a day on the cheap and this 'snack' offered 2400. It's probably impossible to eat 2400 calories in sugared apples in a single setting. That's probably 15 apples and half a cup of sugar. Or 25 apples with no sugar.

Immersion Blender is a fucking necessity in the kitchen. Everyone should have one.

It is absolutely vital for some things. This is definitely one of them

'Cream-style' soup is flippin' way underrated!
It can be super-dang-healthy, depending on how made. Eh, my name is Patrick McGoohan, and I've a bit of an attitude about a prison diet... and stuff.

Potato soup is amazing and so comforting.

For some reason, I read this as cream of pistachio soup and got, really, way too excited.
FauxPseudo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 295d
I'm both worried about you and excited about your idea.
