Notice the title change? Um, yeah, it’s because I haven’t done a whole lot of cooking, for obvious reasons. However, we’re not starving! Sweet people have brought in some delicious meals for us to warm up when we get home from the hospital each day.
Not picking favorites, but I have to give an honest blue ribbon to this wonderful Potato Soup, brought to us by one of the incredible young moms. Though she has three young girls, a full-time job, and many responsibilities each day, she somehow managed to get a meal together for us. Wow, it’s hard to accept the graciousness of someone you know is so busy, but it was so helpful to us, and I won’t steal her blessing of serving. I like potato soup, but I LOVED this recipe. The hash browns are why I love it so much. It’s just little pieces of potatoes, oh yeah, mixed in with the cream cheese and chicken broth. What’s not to love?!
Here’s her recipe that comes from Paula Deen:
1 (30 oz.) bag frozen hash-brown potatoes (She used the shredded kind)
2 (14 oz.) cans chicken broth
1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1/2c chopped onion
1/3 tsp. ground black pepper
1 (8oz) package cream cheese (softened)
Garnish: minced green onion,shredded cheese and bacon bits
Directions:
I a slow cooker, combine potatoes, broth, soup, onion, and pepper.
Cover, and cook on low for 5 hours.
Stir in cream cheese, cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until combined.
As I mentioned earlier, I really have had to learn to accept the help that others have offered. The sweetest and best help is when someone makes a suggestion of what they’d like to do. The young woman who made the soup said, “Let me bring you a meal.” Someone else said, “I’m going to the store, is there something I can bring you?” That takes the load off of me, thinking that I’m adding an extra burden that the person really didn’t have time for. It’s been a good lesson for me to remember for the days ahead in ministering to others. What a blessing to have others do what is commanded in Galatians 6:2 – Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Thank you, to all of you who have helped carry our load. You’ve done it with your prayers, your actions, cards, and calls. We are carrying on easier because of it.
