Mema’s Potato/Tomato Soup {Souper Sunday}





SOUPER SUNDAY IS BACK!!!!!

After a really fun weekend in the mountains, watching football and even seeing some SNOW!! I thought Memama’s  Potato/Tomato Soup would be a yummy end to a great weekend.  It is a super easy soup and very forgiving. In other words you don’t need to stress. It always taste a bit different and I don’t think she has ever made it the exact same way twice!

3 medium baking potatoes, diced

1 lg onion, diced

3 ribs of celery, sliced

Cover with water and a teaspoon of salt. Simmer until cooked.

In sauce pan mix:

2 T butter

2 T flour

2 c milk

1 T worcestershire sauce

1/2 c catsup

3 T mustard

Melt butter, mix in flour, add milk & mix well (adjust to make thick) Blend in remaining ingredients and stir for 5 mins. Add to potato mix and add 2 cans whole tomatoes (rough chopped).
It gets better the longer it sits! And it makes a ton! I hope you enjoy as it sure reminds me of my Mema.

Trick or Treat {ideas}

WOW Halloween is almost here! I can not believe it! And to beat all they are calling for snow showers on Saturday! I thought I would share a few of my Halloween treats from the past as the past few weeks have just been insane! Hubs has been in New Mexico for work and every time I pick up the phone I seem to get bad news. Enough, of my pity party! LETS TALK PUMPKIN!!!
