On Saturday we had a light dinner of sandwiches and potato soup.
Recipe for soup:
about 2 cups carrots thinned from the garden
15 medium size potatoes (I use Yukon gold and cut them in bites size pieces)
1 cup fresh basil chopped
1 cup fresh parsley chopped
3 cups of water
1/2 cup of olive oil
Put it in the crock pot until the carrots are soft and the potatoes are cooked. It took about 2 hours in mine.
Sunday I was tired and didn't want to cook so I took out the leftover potato soup and added 1 cup of navy beans and 1 cup of white beans. Then I cooked it for another 3 hours to cook the beans. I added 1 cup of heavy cream right before serving and it was delicious again.
Monday I was also tired so I added some purple onions from the garden and some fenugreek seeds for flavor. I heated it in the crock pot again and made some dumplings to go with it. It was a great dinner again.
Tuesday I decided to eat the leftovers so I added some chicken and put it in a pie. Now it's all gone. But I will be making more. I like the idea of changing leftovers so that people actually eat them!
So, it didn't quite last a week, but next time I might start with more and then it will.
Anyway, just thought I would share.
