Warm and yummy Corn Soup!

You poor guys have lots of posts to read! :~)

Last one....no promises....

1 can of corn
1 onion
2/3 cup of chopped chicken
3 tablespoons of horseradish mustard
Celery seed (optional)
Garlic powder (optional)
1/3 cup of heavy cream

Saute the onions at medium till brown. Do NOT turn the burner on high and burn your onions like I did.

Dump in the corn, and chicken to simmer.

Throw in the rest of the ingredients to serve.

I think it makes 2-3 big bowls and 4-6 little bowls....

Columbus day

Happy Columbus day!

Last year to celebrate it we:

We left our socks out to be filled with "gold", "corn", and "spices". (Chocolate coins, candy corn, and spices!)

They were filled by the Nina,

the Pinta,

and the Santa Maria.

This year the ships couldn't make it due to the rocket NASA shot off. (Its as good as reason as any!)

Happy Columbus day!
