With all the running around we’ve been doing to prepare for the holidays, it was nice to come in from the crisp late autumn air to make a nice, warm, comforting bowl of soup with bread fresh from the oven. Both of these recipes come from The All New Good Housekeeping Cookbook.
We used 1 pound of unpeeled Red Potatoes for this soup which added a little color after it was blended. The recipe says this soup is great warm, or chilled. I think it’s so good warm that I haven’t tried it chilled, but it couldn’t be easier.
This is the first time we’ve made Corn Bread in our Cast Iron skillet, and it’s the best we’ve ever made! Our friend, Donna, told us how good it was, so we decided to try it – we’re never going back to a glass baking dish!
The only change we made to this recipe was to add 2 Tablespoons of Sugar to the Flour mixture.
I softened the remaining 4 Tablespoons of Butter in the microwave for 10 seconds and stirred in 1 Tablespoon of Honey to make wonderful Honey Butter.

What a yummy meal Susan! I LOVE potato soup and I’m a fan of a little sweeter cornbread too so this definitely is just my cup of tea!
Lizzy says
Yeah, I would rather have eaten your lovely soup and cornbread than the potato chip tortilla…Bill actually liked it more than I did! Those Charleston natives sure know how to deck the halls for Christmas…lovely door! Have a great weekend!!! xo

Leek & potato soup is one of my favorites. Lovely.
You do know that cast iron skillets make the best cornbread 🙂
(P.S. I’m with Lizzie – would much rather have this soup than the tortilla)

Sounds really delicious. Never tried cornbread in a skillet. But I can’t chlorose beween the two meals, I think I like them both.

Looking good! I love eating cornbread right out of the skillet with tons of butter. What tortilla? 🙂
