Piratesmate,

I had to laugh! My grandfather got me started putting ketchup in my potato soup when I was young. DH thinks it's gross. I must admit this sounds much better!

I had to laugh when I read your comment. My granddaughter asked me, Sunday, whether I'd ever heard about putting ketchup on my mashed potatoes. I guess they're so bad at school that's what the kids do to make them edible. LOL!

Gee - school cafeteria food that's awful?!?! I've never had that experience myself.

My grandfather also put ketchup on his scrambled eggs. My grandmother used to complain about it - said he didn't appreciate good cooking. My mother put a stop to that one, though, by putting parmesan cheese in the eggs to add a bit of flavor.

The funny thing about the potato soup was that I HATED tomato soup at the time. They couldn't convince me that I was making tomato soup out of it.

Here is my vegetable soup recipe. DH loves it, not a vegetable soup fan, so can't attest to the taste. But, everyone that has it does rave about it.

1 lb ground beef
1 can green beans
1 can carrots
1 can corn
1 can peas
1 can lima beans
1 - 2 cans of tomato sauce
1 potato peeled and cut up

Brown ground beef and drain off grease. Return to pot, add the canned veggies (don't drain the veggies), tomato sauce and potato. I usually start with one can of tomato sauce and then add more as needed. There is no need to add any water, since you don't drain the canned veggies. Just let the soup cook all day. I usually serve it with cornbread.

Cornbread
1 box Jiffy cornbread mix
1 small can of creamed corn

Preheat oven according to box directions. Follow the directions on the box for the other ingredients. Omit the milk and use the canned creamed corn instead. If mixture is a little dry, add about 1 TBS of mix. Mix thoroughly and bake according to box directions.
