I don't know about where you live, but here in the Midwest the days are cool and the nights are getting downright cold. Although I definitely prefer warmer weather, I do enjoy a few things about the weather cooling off...including how great soup is this time of year. Fall is officially here and that means comfort foods like soups are now in season!
Our family loves soups of all kinds. That's why I'm always looking for a new one to try out. When I learned that Libby's Fruits & Vegetables has a database of recipes available to browse at www.getbacktothetable.com, I went searching. There are several I look forward to trying out this Fall and Winter, but one that caught my eye most was this yummy Hearty Corn Bisque...perfect for crisp, fall weather especially!
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
1⁄2 tsp dried sage
2 cn (15 oz.) Libby’s cream style corn
1 cn (14.5 oz.) Libby’s Sliced Potatoes, drained
1 1⁄2 c low-fat milk
1 c chopped cooked ham (about 6 ounces)
1 tbsp parsley flakes
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and sage; cook about 5 minutes or until onion is soft. Add corn, potatoes and milk; simmer 5 minutes. Stir in ham and parsley.
This is the exact type of recipe my family will love and I can't wait to try it out! That will be even easier thanks to Libby's for providing us with a package including an assortment of Libby’s products, a Cuisinart Stainless Steel Saucepan with Lid and a set of four Soup crocks!
Win It: Libby's wants you to be able to enjoy the different soup recipes on their database as well, which is why they're offering one lucky reader the same prize package we received:
- An assortment of Libby’s products
- Cuisinart Stainless Steel Saucepan with Lid
- Soup crocks – set of four
