Every Wednesday night, our church has dinner before breaking up into our different groups, and this week, the REC had the opportunity to have our fundraiser dinner on this night. We all brought in different soups, made grilled cheese sandwiches, and had ice cream sandwiches for dessert! Since it wasn't a very expensive meal to make, our fundraiser did very well! We raised over $400 for our trip and got to eat some absolutely delicious soups!! I think we had just about every type of soup imaginable too. We had chili, vegetable, chicken noodle, and I made potato soup from Chris' grandmother's recipe, which I was very pleased with. I altered the recipe very slightly to make it a little creamier, but just about all the credit for this one goes entirely to her! I don't think anyone makes it quite as well as she does, but mine turned out well, and when I left, I only had a small container leftover that someone had thoughtfully set aside so that Chris would have something for dinner.
Ingredients
- Several potatoes (peeled, washed, & diced)
- 1 can corned beef
- 1/2 stick of butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup half & half
- salt & pepper (to your own taste)
Directions
- Boil diced potatoes with butter, salt, and pepper until soft, then reduce heat to medium.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, milk, and half & half.
- Add flour mixture to the pot. Let cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Crumble corned beef, and then add to pot. Let cook about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and let sit until ready to serve.
This recipe is pretty quick and easy, and is very good! Just be careful not to use too much water or you won't get as much flavor out of the soup. Just to give some reference, I use about 4 and 1/2 quarts of water when I cook it.
