January Afternoon Recipe Group

Thanks to April for some yummy potato soup that was perfect for a snowy afternoon. We also has some soup toppers there. Experiment with pitas, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, wonton wrappers, home made croutons, or tortillas. Just use a little oil, seasoning, and a fry pan or oven on broil. It makes for fun presentation and a little crunch on top.

Brown hot dogs and onion in butter, and boil potatoes first; then combine it all in a HUGE pot and heat it through!
