Clarisse Luncheon October 18th, 2021

 

Clarisse is our cook for the month of October!

She made this delicious soup and it hit the spot for all.

Everything she made was so good, and she did it

with one arm, as she had a big surgery on her shoulder.

She is a trouper and cooked for us,

we are so fortunate to have a trouper like Clarisse

We are sorry that Sheila and Marilyn was not able to attend.  

            

                                                        The soup in the pot, so yummy

                                        

POTATO AND SAUSAGE SOUP

½ pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked until no longer pink

½ stick butter

1 whole onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed

3 whole medium russet potatoes

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

2 tsp parsley

2 & ½ tsp flour

4 cups whole milk

1 cup of carrots chopped if you wish. Note below*

Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium low heat.  Add the onion and cook,

stirring frequently until transparent.  Add the garlic, potatoes, salt and pepper, and parsley and cook for 3 more minutes.  Stir in sausage.

Add the flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes.  Slowly add the milk.  Bring to a boil and simmer just until the potatoes are tender.  Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Clarisse, tripled the recipe for 10 ladies and had left over for John and her dinner.

She used 2 sticks of butter instead of 3 sticks. Use 2 lbs meat.  *She put carrots in her soup.  The soup was very good.  I could live on that soup.

Just looking at the soup makes me very hungry!!!!

                                                  

Clarisse had the best rolls ever,

They are called Great Great Grand Mammy Hot Rolls,

She wouldn’t give me the recipe as she said it was

a family secret.  I loved those rolls and I wish she would

give out the secret.  

Clarisse had a lot of goodies on the table,

Pickles and olives, can’t forget the October candy corn, chocolate mints,

And lots of good candy, everything was so good.
