Do any of you have soup recipes for the dcb? I think I remember something about soup and slipper shows and maybe a smashed potato soup. tia
 
This is in the files section - I just searched under SOUP.

Smashed Potato Soup
(It's Good For You!...pg 59)

let me know if you can't find it.
 
Kelly, for the smashed potato soup, do you have to use the refrigerated mashed potatoes? Can it be instant that you make at home or even real ones? What is the consistency supposed to be like?
 
If you make the instant ones at home (or use leftovers) BE SURE that they are cooled off overnight so that they get VERY thick. I made the instant ones and put them in the frig overnight and it worked great. Next show, I just made them at the show (so they weren't cooled, or thick enough) and the soup came out watery.

The ones you buy that are refrigerated are usually so thick when they are cold that they are like one big lump of potatoes! That's the consistancy that you need....
 
I've never used instant, but I've used the refrigerated, and leftover homemade. Both were equally good - but Kelly is right...they need to be really thick.
