Some awesome grub

I made this twice now, my own recipe
Spicy potato soup.
I had a bag of really small potatoes but you can use what you have.
Canned chicken broth for the base. big batch so I started with about 2 quarts, you need just enough to cover everything.
add about 3-4 cups diced potatoes, large chunks with the skins on.
Peel 4 larger potatoes, like baking size. Then shred them through a grater like you were making hash browns, add those. They will cook down and make it thick.
Chop up a bunch of celery and add that, about 1 cup or so.
Add diced ham, a pound should do but more is OK, and
4 dried hot chiles, mine are the Thai hot peppers that I grew so hot it to your own taste.
about 1/4 pound of some kind of cheese that melts good, I used Farmer and pepper jack.
1 tsp cummin, I use a little less because I grind my own.
1 tsp curry powder, also maybe a little less. You don't want too much.
1/4 tsp paprika.
Salt to taste but you won't need much because of the ham.

I think I might add some rosemary if I had it, last time I thought I did.
It needs to cook 2 1/2-3 hours so all the hash browns cook down. You can add some milk or 1/2 & 1/2 at the end to richen it up more but it don't really need it.

Well, anyway that right there is some good stuff Maynard, sure hits the spot on a cold day. It'll make your nose run.

That sounds great. I call that potato ham soup.
I make a potato bacon soup that sounds real close
I just nuke a 1/2 pd. of Wrights smoked bacon until crispy
then add it crumbled up just before its served about 10 min.
Now I,m going to have to try yours

great recipe--one of my aunt's did a version with corned beef--big batches, then frozen for quick service anytime

thanks JB

I actually used some bacon in this batch. I buy the ends and pieces and there were several big hunks of just meat so I diced those up and put in with the ham.

BACONNNNNNNNNNNNn

We picked up everything to try your recipe but my beautiful half said we are going to have her tortilla soup first
So after that we are going to have WB's tater soup
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it

MMMMM, tortilla soup. I could go for some of that.

She makes the best tortilla soup I ever had.
She put the whole chicken in the crock pot overnight with the seasonings
She got a package of corn tortillas to cut in strips and fry
Can't wait until tonight

One of these days I am going to learn to make my own tortillas. I have the press and a bag of Ma Se Ca flour. I was going to make tamales once but that takes like 2 days.

Back in the earily 70's my deer lease was in Uvalde Co. South of San Antonio.
We use to stop at this house in SA and pick up 3-5gallons cans of tamales
1 chicken, 1 beef and 1 pork, heck they might have been chihuahua for all I know but they sure were good
We would have em for breakfast, lunch and supper with everything
Filled our pockets with them to eat in the stand

Great tater soup recipe WB, we didn't have any curry powder but still great
I put one large ham steak diced up about the size of your thumbnail and 6 pieces
Wrights bacon, crispy
Added 1/2 clove of crushed garlic but we add that to everything
Thanks again for the recipe

Now that you mention it, I had garlic in mine too. I love garlic.

I,ve been meaning to fix my venison burger wrapped in bacon marinated in Worchestershire and soy sauce for 2 weeks and finally got her done tonight
Sauteed some onion and mushrooms in olive oil, then fixed a walmart brown gravy mix and put the onion/mushrooms mix in it and spooned it on the venison wraps
Cooked the venison wraps on charcoal with a small piece of pecan wood
Don't know if I was starving for it or it actually was the best I've ever made

sounds tasty

pecan is great to cook with as is any fruit bearing tree

2 weeks? But I'm hungry NOW, especially after reading that recipe.

speaking of garlic--if anyone would like some bulbs for a stand starter, let me know--it's a favorite plant around our house

Wish I had some place to plant them, thanks for the offer

You gotta try this one, Red Wine chicken
Waiting for the charcoal to get all white before I put it on the grill
2 chicken breasts
Lay them on the cutting board and fork 1 side all the way thru, 100 times
Fillet it lengthwise
Put it in a ziplock
Add 1/4 bottle of WishBone Red Wine Vinaigrette
Let it marinade at least 1 hour 2-3 is ok
Cook on the grill until done, don't over cook it
It should be done but still juicy inside
Served with Soft fried yellow squash, onion and jalapeno with a salad

I'd like to get some garlic started. I wonder if it will do good this far north. I'll trade you for some horseradish roots.

Jd, I think we need a recipe forum or space designated, just for recipes
Can I get a second to this motion?
