Bennigan's Potato Soup

Ease of Cooking: Beginner

Notes:
This recipe was spotted in the Houston Chronicle. If you do not have soup base availible, please use a piece of ham or chicken for this.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. Ham Base
1 Tbsp. Chicken Base
6 Tbsp. margarine, divided
1/4 lb. yellow onion diced
1 lb. Potato diced
3/4 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
1 1/2 oz. flour
1 C. Milk
Chopped parsley for garnish


Preparation:
Combine ham and chicken bases in a saucepan and whish until no lumps appear. Melt 3 tablespoons margarine in a stockpot and sauté onions until transparent. Add potato and pepper and stir until completely mixed. Add chicken and ham stock and stir until mixture begins to boil.
While mixture is boiling, microwave the remaining 3 tablespoons margarine 20 seconds or until melted. Whisk flour into melted margarine and stir until it forms a roux into the stock. The soup will start to thicken.
Bring soup back to a boil, then slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. When milk is incorporated remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
The Houston Chronicle suggests that the bases may not be available in supermarkets; they suggest that you use chicken broth and a piece of ham.

Mamamia Mamamia! Those are a lot of recipes. That fried mozzarella recipe looks delicious, I'm DEFINATELY going to try it.
 
Smothered Chicken is pretty easy, though not quick by any means. I'll quickly explain how to make it:

Ingredients:
Boneless skinless chicken breast
Cream of mushroom soup
Cream of chicken soup
1 pat of butter

Preheat oven to 350. In a glass baking dish place thawed boneless skinless chicken breast and season normally (I usually use seasoning salt, garlic salt and pepper). Pour cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom over chicken and spread evenly --you can add more or less depending on how much chicken you're making. I tend to like to use cream of mushroom better than cream of chicken, but my husband likes to mix the two , and I must admit it turns out pretty good that way. Put one pat of butter in the middle and place in over. Periodically stir and check the chicken. Once chicken is cooked all the way through pull out, and serve with some white rice --use the sauce as a gravy. It's really good. It usually takes 45-60 minutes to cook all the way through for a serving of 3.
 
Ooh, fried mozzarella. I'm drooling.

Darned Weight Watchers! :mad:
 
You can still have it can't you???

Dip cheese sticks in egg white, coat with crumbs of choice and bake in the oven?
 
Yeah, maybe you could cut up "nuggets" of low-fat mozzarella, coat with crushed cornflakes, and bake?

That fried mozzarella looks ILLEGALLY good.
 
Really great stuff. I cooked an interesting meatloaf tartlets earlier this week

prepair meat loaf as you normally would (with your fav ingredients).
place the meat mixture in a cupcake pan about half way up and then place prepaired mashed pots on top of the meat mixture. place some shredded cheddar cheese and peperika for looks. bake at 425 for about 25 min or until them meet the thoroughly cooked.
 
When I want something easy for dinner, I make my dad's potato soup. It's macaroni, potatoes, velveeta cheese, milk, bacon bits, salt, pepper....I think that's it. LOL I don't know how much of what because I've been making it so long I just know how it's supposed to look.
 
My favorite easy *sort of a meal* is nachos. Just put pretty much whatever you want on a pile of chips and put in the oven until heated. I loved making that on movie night.
 
My favorite easy cook comfort food's carbonara. I just open a can of Campbell's mushroom soup, put some tomatoes, onions and tomatoes and put it in whatever pasta I decide to cook!
 
Spaghetti is usually pretty quick and all the kids eat it. lol

Steak is also quick to cook.

lemon(it's calamansi here in the Philippines)
water

Procedure:

1. Saute garlic and onion.
2. Add the corned beef.
3. Add cabbage.
4. Then add water. Let it boil.
5. When almost done, add lemon(calamansi).
6. Simmer for at least 3 minutes.

That's it. Very simple but delicious. My 7-year old cousin loves this recipe.
