SO HOW'D IT GO?
I was a bit confused by the mention of onion in the directions, when it wasn't listed in the ingredients, but I pressed on. I had half an onion I needed to use up anyway, so I chopped it up and threw it in with the potatoes and carrots. I put in a dash of garlic powder and some soy sauce to add a bit of zest. It was warm and rich and tasty - just right for a cold winter day! Thanks for sharing.
I changed this recipie a little to what I had around. I used:
1 cup water
1 small red potato, cubed
1 small carrot, in coins
2/3 cups corn, frozen
1/4 cup soy milk
Lots of Mrs. Dash
Thanks for the start of a great idea! It was great and warm seeing as how it was only 30 degrees this morning :)
