Notes
Not in the mood for clam chowder? How about Mama’s Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup?
Or this tasty Slow Cooker Chicken Gnocchi Soup?
Hands down, Slow Cooker Taco Soup is the easiest soup I make and a family favorite.
And finally, there’s White Chicken Chili!
You didn’t tell when to add worcestershire sauce. Maybe just before serving? And why do you cook bacon first? And why don’t cook onion say, with bacon? You say poato peeled but in the images look like not peeled.
oh my.. make some snow-cream for dessert.
This is a classic recipe that works really well because the sweetened condensed milk is thick and helps hold quickly melting snow together.
1 gallon or big bowl of clean snow (if you like, you can put the bowl outdoors to collect it as it falls)
1 14-oz can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix the ingredients together and eat the snow ice cream.
Hi, Hariette. We had already made our snow cream (which my kids weren’t crazy about) but next time we’ll definitely try condensed milk. You can’t go wrong there! Thanks for visiting Marty’s Musings.
It looks yummy! Too bad I can’t run out for the ingredients, as that would entail being able to get out of the driveway!
Did you manage to survive Pax? How many days of school were cancelled, Kirby? My kids were getting over being sick so they really only had Friday in the snow but they’re teenagers and they’ll live!
