The only timees I do a "side salad" involve restaurant settigs. Lately
if I do salad at home it is the whole meal. Somepeople think I'm crazy
for doing as I do. I tell them "Works for me. So I'm NOT crazy - just
eccentric." This is one of my made up on the fly recipes that worked
out very well. Had it for swupper last night.
16 oz Bag corn niblets
21 1/2 oz (2 cans) cream of potato
- soup; undiluted
4 oz Can chopped green chilies
1 Soup can milk
Fresh ground pepper
Open the soup and dump into your crockpot. Add the corn
and milk and stir. Add the chilies and stir again.
Set the cooker on low and let it do its thing for about
four hours. Just before serving grind pepper (to taste)
into the soup and give it another stir to combine.
Ladle into bowls and dig in. Refrigerate leftovers (if
any) and nuke back to life for supper the next day.
