I made a wonderful soup tonight.  Afterward I got to thinking about the way we cook.

I have so many recipes , but I almost always adapt them a bit to suit myself.  Sometime I start out with an idea and come up with something I have never tried before.  That's what happened today.

I thought a pot of potato soup would be good.  But after I got started I got inventive.

Here is what I came up with:

I peeled and cubed about 12 red potatoes

Put them in a pan with a can of chicken broth and water to cover.

Added some dried onion, and boiled until the potatoes were done.

Meantime I boiled a chicken breast.  When the potatoes were done I added a can of evaporated milk, a stick of butter, salt, some celery flakes I had dried this summer , a few dried carrots and peas and the chicken ( Cubed).

Still wasn't satisfied.  So I added my favorite seasoning, McCormick's seasoned pepper-all and a few dashes of Smokey Chipotle Tabasco.

Talk about good.  It really hit the spot.

Now I just need to name it something before the kids do.  I started many years ago with my own version of a green chile stew that i used Ro-Tel tomatoes in.  The kids loved it and always called it " That Stuff Momma Makes With Ro-Tel". The middle daughter even put it in the church cookbook under that title!

I am open for suggestions, any ideas?
