PS. I thought the chicken alfredo sounded good, anyone else recommend it?
 
I did Lean and Green chili at my show last night. It was awesome. The hostess also made the smashed potato soup. Both recipes came from the "It's Good for You" cookbook.
 
Baked Potato Soup

INGREDIENTS:
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
7 cups milk
4 large baking potatoes, baked, cooled, peeled and cubed, about 4 cups
4 green onions, thinly sliced
10 to 12 strips bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
1 1/4 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

PREPARATION:
In a large Dutch oven or stockpot over low heat, melt butter. Stir in flour; stir until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened. Add potatoes and onions. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until soup begins to bubble. Reduce heat; simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; stir until cheese is melted. Serve baked potato soup immediately.
This baked potato soup recipe serves 6 to 8

Hey Heather!

I'm actually doing that soup on Sunday at my "Soup and Slippers" show. This is the only soup I've ever done at shows. I think it's a great demo and everyone always loves it. It's also very easy to double for bigger groups. Yum!:)

Smashed Potato Soup....It's in the "ITs Good For You" cookbook....it is incredibly simple to make - 10 minutes to put together, and 10 minutes to cook....and if you do the condiments for the top, you can also show stoneware (for the bacon), and the UM (to grate the cheese). I had moe raves for this show than any I have ever done....I served it with beer bread.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! I hope it was a great show;) as well.....
 
I need to make soup for a crowd this weekend (not a show--but maybe I'll get some orders!) I am making Baked Potato soup and was wondering if you think I would be able to make it in the roasting pan? (I'll probably be doubling or tripling the recipe). What do you think?
