Potato Leek Soup

My sister gave me this recipe for Potato Leek Soup today. It's really good! It's creamy and super easy. I made a double batch because I like to freeze the left overs for another time. I used both red and brown potatoes but you can use what you like. I also used the chicken broth that comes in the box. I added a lot of pepper and salt to spice it up... This goes great with a warm sandwich or a salad!


Potato Leek Soup:

• 1 box chicken broth
• 5 red potatoes, 1 brown potato
• 1 leek
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp butter
• salt and pepper

1. Bring chicken broth to a rolling boil and cover.
2. Peel and cut potatoes into cubes, add to boiling broth.
3. Saute the leeks in the butter, garlic, salt and pepper then add to soup.
4. Let cook until potatoes are tender, add your cream, more salt and pepper and cook on low.
5. I then smashed some of the potatoes to thicken the soup and you're ready to serve! I'm betting that this is going to be even better left over...

Beer Mac N Cheese

It's our 9 year anniversary so I decided to make one of Chris' favorites... We love having the Beer Mac N Cheese at our local Stone Brewery so I went and got the sausage from T&H where Stone gets theres. I just used their sausage this time and added a little Stone IPA to the mix!

Turkey Goulash

I was struggling one night on what to make... Tired of the same old Rogers house favorites, I decided to make something up with what I had on hand in the house. I admit, I was worried but thankfully the family LOVED it! I named it Turkey Goulash. It was super easy and fast to make! I hope you like it as much as my family does...

Turkey Goulash:

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 5-6 potatoes
• Loose hand full fettuccine noodles
• 1 pack onion dip mix
• 1 pack brown gravy
• 4-5 cups water
• 1-2 cups carrots

1. Brown meat with 1/2 pack onion mix, garlic salt and lots of pepper, put aside.
2. Peel and chop potatoes into small cubes.
3. Boil 4 cups water with potatoes, carrots and noodles until tender. (about 10 minutes)
4. Add rest of onion pack and gravy pack, simmer on low until it thickens.
5. Add meat, stir and serve!
