Soup Swap - Gazpacho

-

Joyce served Gazpacho soup with delicious baking powder biscuits with cheese. Mom thought it would taste even better with vodka . . . LOL. My first time trying a cold soup, and it was really yummy.

Gazpacho

1 small onion chopped
1 cup of peeled and diced tomatoes
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced and peeled cucumber
1/2 clove of garlic

Mix ingredients in blender with 1 cup of tomato juice.
Add 2 cups of tomator juice, 1/3 cup French dressing, 1 tbsp. salt and some cayenne (optional).
Refrigerate and serve cold.

Baking Powder Biscuits

Sift 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp. salt. Cut in 1/3 cup of shortening. Add 3/4 cup milk. Blend to make soft dough. Add 3/4 cup of shredded cheese. Place on lightly floured board and knead 8-10 times. Roll and pat dough to desired thickness and cut with floured cutter.
Bake 12-15 minutes at 450 degrees on parchment paper covered baking sheets.

Mom said she cooked the biscuits at 350 degrees because the parchment paper was scorching at the higher temperature.

    I have always wanted to try this and it did live up to its popularity. I really loved the flavour in it!

Leftover Scalloped Potato Soup

-
Want a use for leftover scalloped potatos? Make soup. After a holiday meal I always use up my leftover ham and make scalloped potatoes and ham with brocolli, but this year, I made too much! Now what? Scalloped potato soup... I found this online. 4 cups leftover scalloped potatoes 1 cup cubed ham (optional) **NOTE: I added some leftover bacon(cubed) as well. 4 cups chicken broth 1 tablespoon garlic powder salt and pepper to taste 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Directions Place the scalloped potatoes and ham into a large pot, and pour in enough chicken broth to cover the potatoes completely. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. This sticks to the bottom of the pot easily, so I heated well and transfered to a crock pot to keep hot. Stir in the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, and simmer for about 10 minutes. or In crockpot mix liquid and seasonings, throw the leftovers in the crockpot before work so supper is ready ...

You will NEVER make grilled cheese the same again

Grilled Cheese fast and yummy! I love everything about a grilled cheese sandwich. Enough that I have many styles and ways to make them! I own a sandwich maker. Loved it! But it is a messy, messy machine and no real way to clean it properly. Recently though I was told a new way to make them and after many attempts I have decided I will never make a grilled cheese any other way! Number 1! You can make numerous sandwiches at the same time. Bake them on low or you will end up with very crunchy edges. (as shown) 300 degrees seems to work on my oven. Number 2! In all my attempts I have not yet burned one! AND I have never had messy burnt cheese to clean up either. That means you can have a cheesy sandwich using less cheese. Number 3! It works with meat and cheese or just cheese. We like ours being stuffed with almost everything. We like onions, peppers or tomatoes! Number 4! My family loves them done this wa...
