Potato Soup

        
A Memory from our childhood
No matter how old you are, when you are living away from your Mom, whether it be a few miles or many many miles, you are bound to get homesick. So many of our childhood memories are centered around food. 
A few weeks ago, Sue was down visiting and we got to talking about the Potato Soup Mom made when we were kids. How good it was and how much we loved it.  Sooooo, a phone call later and with the help of modern technology, that wonderful recipe was in our hands. 
What we found out that day was...That wonderful soup we loved so much as kids, did not taste quite as good as adults. Sorry Mom, but seriously......You got the recipe from a hospital ???  Who, I ask, would like hospital food enough to ask for the recipe? My Mom, that's who :) 
Anyway...We 'doctored' it up a bit with some chicken  bouillon, some salt & pepper and it didn't turn out half bad. 
***The Moral of this story...Some memories may not be exactly as you remembered, but as long as it made you smile, then and now, it's a good memory :) 
So here it is...Straight from our Moms cookbook
