Behind the scenes.

A few things...

Firstly, I worked this weekend, so I'll probably be a little behind for a few days. Sorry.

Secondly, I didn't preview any of the recipes in this booklet before I decided to do this silly game. So far, I've had to veto two of the recipes because they had ingredients we don't "do" in this house. (Provolone cheese and sauerkraut for those who care.)

Thirdly, THIS recipe was not a crock pot recipe. Why on Earth did a recipe card book of crock pot recipes manage to slip in a 15 minute stovetop soup recipe?   No idea. Of course, I didn't realize this until yesterday morning when I was all set to put everything in the pot. So...I attempted to convert it. This is what I did...

"Turkey-Sweet Potato Soup" (6 quart pot)

~2 c water
~2 t sodium-free chicken bouillon granules
~2 sweet potatoes, cubed
~1 (14 oz) can creamed corn
~1 T fresh sage, minced
~1/4 t pepper
~1 T cornstarch
~1 c milk
~2 c cubed turkey chops (The original recipe said cooked turkey breast.)

4 servings.

This was a yummy soup. I was worried that I'd somehow screw it up, but I'm pretty sure I didn't. I don't see a lot of recipes that use fresh sage, so that was exciting to use and delicious to eat. Even my little helper ate some of it, so I can definitely put this in the win pile.
