Staying Comfy :January

Staying ComfyBy Tammy
Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat. ~Author Unknown

I am guilty of this. I am SO cold natured. I freeze constantly. Here's something we do to give us that warm comfort feeling.

A big bowl of hot steaming soup always makes you feel better, and there are so many varieties to choose from.
Our favorite is Potato Soup.

Now,... I can cook alright....but I guess I cook a little on the lazy side.... If there's a shortcut, I take it! For instance here's my potato soup recipe...
I make it the easy way. I bake some potatoes in the microwave, and while they're cooking,I get my pot ready with some milk, butter, and spices, . Then at the end, I peel and mash the potatoes. I then add them to the soup, along with some shredded cheddar cheese, and let it simmer. The spices I use are usually; garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. "Nature's Seasoning" is good in it too. The amounts are up to you. Spicy or bland? Thick-N-hearty or thin-N-soupy?

Of course I "make" biscuits to go with it. I cheat there too. I make "Bisquick Complete" cheese garlic biscuits. (In a yellow 7.5 oz pkg.) Just add water, and bake. They're ready in 15 minutes, and they are super! The only drawback,- they have a little transfat. There's no cholesterol though.

Soup's on!
How do you stay warm?
