Panera Bread Potato Soup

Servings 6 servings

Prep time 10 minutes

Cooking time 1 hour 

Calories 349 kcal

This copycat recipe for Panera Bread potato soup is top-notch! Loaded with potatoes and cream cheese, it’s savory, creamy, and delicious!

INGREDIENTS

4 cups chicken broth

4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes

1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel the potatoes and cut them into even cubes.

Place the potatoes, chicken broth, and seasoning in a large stock pot and bring it to a boil.

When the potatoes are fork-tender, lower the heat. Then, smash a few of the potatoes with a fork to thicken the soup.

Gently fold in the cream cheese and continue to stir until all the cheese melts into the soup.

Ladle it into bowls, and enjoy!

Chocolate Cake in Coffee Cup (repeat)

 http://lifehacker.com/5892327/keep-single-serving-microwave-cake-mix-on-hand-for-a-quick-fix

1 box chocolate Angel food cake
1 box any other cake mix

Mix completely and store in sealed container.

To use:

3 tablespoons of mix in coffee mug
2 tablespoons of water

Mix and nuke for 1 minute

For a quick pick me up at work or at home you can keep this cake mix in a ziplock bag for a fast coffee mug full of cake. You'll just need to mix one box of Angel Food cake mix with one box of any other cake mix and combine them together in a freezer bag. When you need a shot of cake-y goodness put 3 tablespoons of this mix in your mug with 2 tablespoons water and microwave on high for 1 minute.

This is easy to make and I enjoyed when I got home after working the evening shift.  It was nice with addded dark chocolate chips.

 I wrote this before I retired in 2015 and have made this perhaps twice since then. Something like this- nice as it tastes - simply is not consistent with the type of food I can eat.

I am T2D  and am getting the skunk eye from my personal MD, the VA Doc and my Heart Surgeon.  It took almost 19 years of fending off the needle but I am now on Ozempic once a week. Ozempic shots are virtually pain free and have a muchIi smaller needle than the insulin needles my Father and youngest brother Charlie had to live with...

panado

Would anyone like a glass of panado?

During the Civil War, a Nurse and Hospital Administrator named Mary Ann (Mother) Bickerdyke dealt with the lack of supplies. “Her favorite post-operative offering was ‘panado’, a mush made up of whiskey, hot water and brown sugar into which she crumbled hardtack”. (“From Hardtack to Home Fries” by Barbara Haber).

I have never been offered “panado”.

Crusty Bread

Crusty Bread (simplysogood)

3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon Instant or Rapid-rise yeast
1 1/2 cups water

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt and yeast. Add water and mix until a shaggy mixture forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 12 - 18 hours. Overnight works great. Heat oven to 450 degrees. When the oven has reached 450 degrees place a cast iron pot with a lid in the oven and heat the pot for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pour dough onto a heavily floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let set while the pot is heating. Remove hot pot from the oven and drop in the dough. Cover and return to oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove the lid and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove bread from oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.

You need two boxes of cake mix. One can be any flavor you prefer, but the other MUST be Angel Food cake mix. 

Mix them together (shake them in a big bowl). Then simply store the mixture in an airtight container until you get the urge for dessert. 

Put three Tbsp. of the dry mixture in a big coffee mug and stir in 2 Tbsp of water.

Microwave it for one minute and you will have a single serving of cake! 

Top with fruit, ice cream, whipped cream or whatever! Awesome for those of us who want something sweet every now and then without making an entire cake!!!
