Yum, Potato Soup with Bacon

This potato soup is super creamy and delicious, perfect for a cozy night in. Plus, it's budget-friendly and easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
4 cups of chicken broth
1 cup of milk
Seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 to 6 crispy pieces of bacon (optional)

Optional Ingredients:

1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of green chives

Instructions:

Peel and chop the potatoes, onion, and garlic.

In a large pot, combine the potatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender.

To achieve your desired texture, utilize an immersion blender to blend the soup. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Personally, I enjoy leaving some potato chunks in the soup for added texture.

Stir in the milk and season with seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Serve the soup hot, topped with crispy pieces of bacon, if desired.

Enjoy!

Why I Don't Preheat My Oven Before Cooking"

"Why I Don't Preheat My Oven Before Cooking" In this article, I aim to shed light on my unconventional approach to cooking by explaining the reasons behind why I choose not to preheat my oven. While this may seem like a peculiar practice to some, I assure you that there are valid reasons behind it that I will explore in the following sections.

American pokeweed

American pokeweed American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I
