Monday Meals

Breakfast is usually just me and I am not all that exciting of a breakfast eater.  I rarely cook anything just for myself and usually rely on yogurt, cereal or leftovers for the meal.

Lunch is more of the same unless I happen to pack a lunch for my husband that day.

Dinner we do generally cook something. Today it was homemade Oatmeal Bread and Potato Cheese Soup.  Unfortunately, the soup pictures weren't very good so this is a photo free posting.  I did, however, include the recipe for you to try.

Potato-Cheese Soup

A yummy, creamy soup without any cream.

1 T olive oil

2 C chopped onion

2 C chopped carrots

6 C chicken stock

1 1/2 lb. potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 t thyme

1 bay leaf

salt and pepper to taste

2 C shredded cheddar cheese

Heat butter in a large soup pot and sauté the onions and carrots until tender.  Add stock, potatoes, thyme and bay leaf.  Bring soup to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender.

Remove bay leaf and puree soup until smooth using a stick blender, food processor or other apparatus of choice.

Adjust seasonings and add additional stock or water if needed to reach desired consistency.  Stir in half of cheese until melted.  Serve garnished with remaining cheese.
