let the soups begin

After a quick inventory of my refrigerator doors and drawers,

it was obvious to me that it was Soup Time!

I boiled a few potatoes from the bottom of the bag, sliced some zucchini,

and diced some onions.  Covered them with water and boiled awhile.

I beat them with my hand beater right in the water.

Added some left over fresh corn, some tomatoes just little past slicing prime,

a handful of shredded cheddar cheese and a few pieces of bacon I'd browned in the microwave.

I had a partial can of evaporated milk so I added that to the mixture along with 

a bit of salt and pepper.

The flavors will blend as it warms on the stovetop this morning.

Then I think I'll serve it in one of these tureens from my collection--thrifted, of course.

 (Or maybe we'll just dish it up straight out of the saucepan.....)
