Burnt supper..

First of all I apologize for not writing in the past months. Since school started its been crazy around here.
Back to the title of my blog. In the 12 years I've been married I've never burnt supper that I recall. I might have cooked till it was too done, but not actually Burnt the supper. I was cooking potato soup, my daughter's favorite soup. She is not a soup eater much but the one she truly loves is potato. I planned on making but then came found out I didn't have these canned potatoes that you add to this soup. Deon found this recipe for Easy Potato Soup a couple years ago, He usually is the one who makes it, but I was going to give it a try this would be my 2nd time making it. I told her that I would walk down to Nana's (Deon's mom, who lives 5 seconds from my house) and see if she has any. When I got there she did not, but said hey I've got real potatoes you can use. Never done it this way but hey I'll give it a try. I get home peel the potatoes and put them in the pot to cook. After they are done, I start making the so called Easy Potato soup. You use hash browns with all other kinds of stuff (I'll have to add the recipe later time) but the one thing I forgot is your are suppose to stir this soup while its cooking or it will stick to your pan and burn.
Well you guessed it....I didn't stir the soup, Totally forgot to STIR!! It did not think of it till it was done, and saw that it was stuck to the bottom. Thought it would be ok if I didn't scrape it and so I wouldn't get the dark brown potatoes in the soup. I went to start serving and started smelling the burnt food smell. We sat down anyway and started to it, my poor daughter was so excited to eat the soup. I took a bite and said "Oh wow this is burnt" Husband agreed but kept on eating, Savannah and Dalton both said same thing but kept on eating. They did not want to hurt my feelings because they could see I was mad at myself for burning a perfectly good meal. I personally could not eat it, and got up and dumped it. A few mins later the kids did the same thing when I told them we could find them something else to eat. They would had sat there and ate it, just so they wouldn't hurt my feelings. Savannah kept telling me it wasn't that bad, but I believe she was just being nice. Deon said the same thing and actually ate the soup. I couldn't believe it but he did. Now that is a husband to sit there and eat burnt soup. You couldn't tell it was burnt but man could you taste it. (Yuck)
Next time I make potato soup (or I'll just let Deon do it lol) I'll remember to STIR!

  1. Sorta like the time I added hamburger with bbq sauce in it to my chili, but still won 2nd prize at the church cook-off (yours won 1st prize). Those people were either starved for ANY kind of chili or really modelling Christ's love.

  2. I did exactly the same thing about two weeks ago, with a gigantic pot of pea soup. Eeeeewww, what a stink!

    Sounds like you have very sweet kids, though, and a fantastic husband. :)
