I think that I am coming down with a cold, so my craving for chicken soup just jumped about 90% which means there is still time to fight this. If I get truly sick, I want nothing to do with food of any sort.

I don't make the 'tato soup. Gryph does.

Y'all are probably gonna think this is heresy here in the foodie thread, but we eat it and love it.

Gryph's Potato Soup

6 large baking potatoes, scrubbed and chopped into 8 or more pieces each
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
fresh-ground pepper
dill seasoning mix (he uses the one from Pampered Chef)
parsley (he uses dried because that's what we've got)

Boil the potatoes until they're done enough for potato salad. Drain; reserve the equivalent of two cans of water or so. Mix the soups, the potatoes, the water and heat through. Season to taste--this soup can handle a moderate amount of seasoning. Serve.

As for the chicken, I did pull it off the bones but only enough to eat for supper. I was starved! And I have broth in the fridge yet, so no hurries. We brought home leftovers from the neighborhood holiday dinner and then Gryph brought home the leftover soup from another dinner, so we've been working our way through them slowly. We haven't even finished the pork-potatoes-and-sauerkraut yet--tis an embarrassment of riches! We may have to share with a friend.

Hope you feel better quick! I'm on day three of echinacea with goldenseal myself.
