LeeLee is still battling a window-rattling cough, so I decided to bring in the big guns tonight for dinner – Mama’s Potato Soup.
Growing up, whenever I got sick, my mother whipped up a big pot of this soup – boiling plenty of potatoes in just enough water to cover everything, then adding minced onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and a dash of parsley and boiling until the spuds are mash-tender. She always uses the hand mixer to blend everything up with a couple of cups of milk, but I like to use my potato masher for a thicker, chunkier soup. Top it off with some Goldfish crackers and you’ve got a recipe for healing.
I just asked LeeLee whether he was feeling better post-soup, and he said (albeit raspily) that he was. I should’ve made a double batch for tomorrow’s lunch!
The stats:
Potatoes: $4.99 ($1.25/person)
Silk: $2.69 ($0.67/person)
Goldfish: $2.39 ($0.60/person)
GRAND TOTAL: $10.07 … or $2.52 per person.
