Soup sort of day

Still gray, getting colder, some splats mixed in with the drips out there -- wet snow.  Made up a batch of cheese-potato soup for lunch.  For the foodies among you, this is no big deal.  But it is simple enough for even a male to do it -- basically, you make up mashed potatoes but with enough water to make it soup, add in a bunch of chopped or shredded cheddar (good cheddar, not the bitter cheap stuff) and chopped onions to taste, and sprinkle in garlic vinegar.  Two potatoes worth of soup feeds one Jim for lunch.

Hehe. Most of the cooks I know are men. And my my my, but they are good at what they do.

Jim, I've been making a variant of that for years. With instant mashed potatoes.

I've avoided instant mashed potatoes after discovering one variety that contained, God only knows why, wheat starch. Just checked, and Wife does have a box of untainted type in the cupboard. Don't know how old...
