Fix-It-And-Forget-It! :) or as a friend said.. "I'm gonna fix it and eat it!" :)

 potato soup...

The other day I went over to my mothers house and had left over potato soup

for lunch... which made me want some more.

Well... I grabbed my Mom's cook book

and started digging through the pages to find a recipe that sounded

good. :) 

 Last October for Willie's Birthday I made Chillie and discovered that  I love to use a crock-pot.
           It is a great thing when you have a day of running errands or when your your wanting to take a break  from "slaving over a hot stove"

                                    or even just want to let the Beauty of flavors meld together in a slow cooking dish of greatness.. ;)

 Either way... It is a marvelous invention .

                                                                                                                                                               One of my favorite Cook books is a crock-pot cookbook chocked full of yummy recipes of all kinds.

The Cook book is really good because most of the 

recipes do not take a large amount of time... 

And It's not that I don't have that...

I'm just a bad judge of time frames...

the beauty of these is all I need to do is

plan a little in advance and wallah...

Tada... I have a great home cooked meal and basically 

all I did was throw it in the crock-pot. 

Now don't get me wrong... 

I love to cook other ways... I just really enjoy this one too. :) 

               

 This Sunday was one of those soup days.. and I was really wanting some... 

But with it being Sunday I didn't get a lot of time to prepare 

....So I got up at 5:30 and started preparing... 

Which made me get queasy because I didn't eat breakfast

right away and Punkin' didn't appreciate that lol :)

... Bunny Trail ... 

Anyway back to my story... 

It was nice because It was all in the crock pot 

and turned on by about 6:15 or so... :)

By the time I got home I could add the last

ingredient and let it finish cooking  for the rest of the time. :)

Ok, here is the recipe:

Potato Soup

6 Potatoes, cubed

(you can peel or leave

the skin on )

2 Leeks,Chopped

2 Onions,Chopped

5 Cups Water

1 Tbsp Salt 

Pepper to Taste

1/3 Cup Butter

13 oz Evaporated Milk

Optional:

 1 Carrot

Ham chunks 

(The Thick sliced ham 

will work in a pinch

But the best is thick

slices cubed right of the bone.^_^)

 Combine all ingredients except for 

Evaporated Milk

or on High for  3-4 hours

Stir in Milk the last hour.
