I enjoy reading the finance/frugality blog Get Rich Slowly. It’s nice, with so many media implications to “buy, buy, buy”, to have a source of advice on fiscal responsibility. Recently, I was pleasantly surprised to see the posting of a recipe for baked potato soup.

I tried it tonight. I had a bit of trouble getting the potatoes to the right state in the microwave, and I think next time I’d make it with only 2 (or 3 smaller ones than the double-fist size I had). I’d also never cooked with evaporated milk before.

But once everything got into the pot, stirred up, and heated through, it was quite tasty. I put shredded cheddar cheese on top and a chopped green onion. Very filling, too, and I’m looking forward to having leftovers for lunch.
