The Worst Potato Soup EVER … and Redemption

by Angie on January 4, 2013

It all started when I noticed that P-Dub posted a recipe for what she considers “perfect potato soup”.

My immediate thought was ” hey, I don’t know about that … that potato soup I made last year was seriously title worthy …I’m gonna make that stuff again and then challenge her to a throwdown …”

So I bought these:

And made this:

Don’t let the photo fool you.  This is the world’s WORST potato soup ever. Ever.  EVER.

I’m not sure I can even begin to tell you where things went wrong.

Except to tell you that I didn’t use a real recipe.  I thought I could throw a little of this and a little of that (going from memory of course) and replicate my last potato soup (which is the REAL “perfect potato soup”).

I took a taste from the pot.  It was awful.

But I forced down a bowl.  Out of pride.

I literally feel sick right now.  And I just sent a text to my husband letting him know he should probably pick up a pizza on his way home if he wants to eat this evening.

I fed Mayhem a bowl of Cheerios for dinner.

There was no chance I was going to blog about this horrific soup until I loaded the photographs onto my computer.

And came across this gem:

Silver lining.

If I didn’t make the world’s worst potato soup today, I wouldn’t have made this either.  I just love that.

Happy Weekend.  Hope yours is souper terrific icon wink | 2 Sisters & a Blog

I loved your instagram picture of the soup with all the extra filters. I feel for you, my dear. And I giggle a little too; we’ve all been there. Especially after seeing a yummy PW recipe and wanting to implement it in our own kitchen. That picture above really is fantastic though!

Well I had to try something and the filters seemed like the only thing that might help …. ;) Seriously, so glad someone can relate – darn that PW and all her yummy recipes!
