My Man is the Chief Mash Maker in the house and he always makes extra.  It’s so delicious you want to smear it all over yourself and lick it off, like you’re a cat.

1 Quart of Chicken Broth (low sodium or homemade)
3 Tbsps. Olive Oil
2 Medium Onions, thinly sliced
1 Large Clove of Garlic, minced
2 cups Leftover Mashed Potatoes
6 Mushrooms, sliced
Salt & Pepper to taste

Optional; 1 pinch of Herbs de Provence and 1 splosh of White Wine

In a medium pot, heat oil, add onions and sauté until they’re a light golden.   Add garlic, cook for a minute or so.  Add Broth and cook onions until soft.   Then, plonk in leftover mashed potatoes.  It’s important that they have been mashed smooth or you’ll have lumps in your soup. Add the thinly sliced mushrooms and cook to tender.   Makes 4 delectable bowls.

Lux it Up;  Drizzle truffle oil on top of each bowl just before serving.

Variations;   Use Beef, or Vegetable Broth instead of Chicken.

***This soup is a Ten on the Sticky Scale! You will be stuck with whomever you serve this too! My man moaned all the way through his first bowl and trolled for more.

***Warning WARNING…if you’re looking for a little sumthin sumthin afterwards, FORGET IT…this soup is a nap inducer!

Hi, I'm Marianne Hines. Most call me ANNiE. The nick is short and sweet and not at all like me. I’m 5’11” and happiest when there's sand between my toes, when I'm dirty, windblown, and adorned with the debris of whatever project I'm working on. I build, design,and create in many forms. I’ve spent most of my life in the Northwest. Twelve years ago I came to the southeast for love, that love is now my husband. I love London and Paris for the art, food, and architecture. I love Spring and Fall, mountains, untouched snow, the smell of a horse’s mane, the sound of paper dry leaves under foot, birds singing, reef snorkeling, flea market hunting, and cooking for friends who love to eat, to be loud, and to laugh.
