Loaded Potato Soup: Snack After Piano Practice

Once in a while, I love looking at the sale rock at the store to see if there's something I can  find  to use at home.  I bought  this Swanson soup  starter cream  for a buck and I finally used it yesterday.   My daughter love potato soup so I figured this would be a great after-school snack for them.  

Ingredients:

• 1 pack Swanson  soup cream
• 3 strips of bacon
• 1 tsp. fresh thyme (homegrown)
• 1 tbsp chopped scallion (homegrown)
• 3 medium sized potatoes, peeled diced (homegrown)
• 1/2 cup of sour cream
• 1/4 cup  shredded 4-cheese
• 1 medium sized onion, chopped
• 1 meduim sized carrots, peeled and diced (you can also use celery if you prefer that.)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp oil

 Procedure:

• In a hot pan, brown the bacon.  Remove the bacon and put it in a plate with paper towel.  Remove the excess grease from the pan but  leave about two tbsp.  
• Add the  potatoes, onions, and carrots and cooked for five minutes.
• Add the  swanson starter  soup cream, salt, and pepper.  
• Chopped the bacon and add halp to the mixture.
• Reduce the heat and cooked it for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are  done.
• Sprinkle some bacon and scallions on top and enjoy!

My kids  each has a bowl of this after they practice piano

On another note, I am so glad that my son  has finally come to love playing  piano.  I am kind of guilty pushing him to learn how  but I am glad that I did becausae he doesn't gfeel inferior  with  his sister's ability to play.   I wanted him to learn something that he could use his  too much of an energy and focus.   Now, they can both rock it out.  There's no interest in boss gt-10 just yet but  who knows, maybe someday, they will explore more with music.  For now, I am happy that both  of them love to play piano.
