You can’t go wrong with pasta
At least this is my take! While perusing TIKTOK recipes I noted this one. Looked easy quick and cheesy perfect. When I finished cooking and took a bite I realized I had combined two recipes in error. It was good but not better than any of these.
…PASTA or any one of these dishes in the search window and see what happens!

Yep, ready in less than 15 minutes … And did I say, only 3-4 ingredients, depending. This is a soup you pull together after working in the Fall garden and have a bit of chill. It’s not my own recipe but Jacques Pépin’s …  That’s the only reason I tried it because it does call for instant potatoes. Yikes! I shopped the instant potatoes carefully and did find a product I thought would be as close to the real thing as possible, no added ingredients. It works!
It’s 1982 and my husband takes a position as a Deputy DA in Bakersfield, California. Really, you did? It was the first time I would live a distance from my hometown. It was a unilateral decision that significantly changed the lives of many.
The flavor of Buffalo Wild Wings in a Chicken Soup … I love this soup not only for the flavor but the moist chicken shreds in a potato thickened broth. Add a bit of cream cheese for a creamier touch, or not. I used Frank’s Red Hot Original Hot Sauce which has a noticeable vinegar taste but once added to the soup it’s the perfect touch. Try it today but keep the recipe handy for the winter weather. The little bit of heat is a welcomed surprise.
With a vegetable garden this is so easy to put together. A bit of a pantry recipe, versatile, whatever you have on hand. Even add a bit of meat, Italian sausage my suggestion, for the meat lovers. My secret to a well melded minestrone is to simmer for over an hour even if it’s cooked through in 30 minutes.
Easy delicious recipe! Really does taste like a baked potato with all the fixin’s. This recipe is inspired by the New York Times recipe with a few prep changes to help assure a smoother soup and no curdle. It’s a perfect super bowl addition. Leave those potatoes a bit chunky for the guys who need something to sink their teeth into.
