I sorta followed a Rachael Ray recipe....omitting this and adding that....
doing this later than I did that....

Potato, Spinich, Tomato Soup

I boiled 2 quarts of water in a large pot and added 3 large, peeled potatoes THINLY SLICED...and 2 TBSP beef bouillon and fresh ground pepper.
In a skillet I sauteed a large onion, minced and 3 cloves of minced garlic in veggie oil (only bc I was out of olive oil...I usually only use olive oil).
I let the potatoes boil for a while before adding the garlic/onions...
When the potatoes were done and starting to fall apart, I added a small can of Ro-Tel (yes, it did make it a bit spicier than I thought it would after adding it to ALL that!) and a small can of stewed tomatoes. (about 14 oz each). I included the juice.
I also added a can of corn with about half the liquid.
When this started to cook again, I turned off the heat and added a bag of raw baby spinich.


I saved my excess oil from the onions/garlic and drizzled it over hot dog buns that I took apart...I also sprinkled with garlic powder and toasted...and turned over and toasted again....

I added Tabasco sauce to mine at the table!

This was a HIT!!! The flavor was great! I'm thinking of adding chicken or shrimp next time. Possibly some okra and rice!!! (almost gumbo, eh?)

Okra and rice, yes! Mmmm that sounds good! Looks like no one starves from hunger strikes in your home!

Sounds yummy, but What is Ro-Tel? I am enjoying all the different recipies we are getting on here lately but some times I don't understand what all the ingrediants are :lol:

I had to look this one up myself. It's a brand of diced tomatoes spiced up with hot peppers. I'll have to try it.

Thanks again Moonpi :D

Sorry. Ro-Tel is only a specific brand of diced tomatoes that have hot peppers in them.

I was going to use just diced tomatoes, but I didn't have any in the cabinet.
