I’m always on the lookout for recipes that work well for a large family. This one fit the bill! It comes from The Maiden’s Menu, published by King’s Blooming Rose.
I actually got to meet Sarah Bryant, editor of King’s Blooming Rose Magazine and author of The Family Daughter at the Omaha Teach Them Diligently Convention! We kept just barely missing each other at nearly every conference this year, but finally ran into each other at the Grace & Truth books booth and snagged some photos.
This is Sarah’s sister, Rachael, myself, and Sarah.

Now I realize we are getting into summer, but I still serve soup in the summer months because of how easy it is to make. Try this soup using a crock pot to keep the heat down in your kitchen. Double it and freeze (minus the sour cream) for a quick meal later. Enjoy!
How about special super-quick giveaway of a copy of The Maiden’s Menu?!
Enter below and I’ll announce the winner on Saturday!

Kelly Ballard says
Soups are easy, but I have never really used them during the summer. I may have to give them a try.
Melinda says
I was wondering how many this recipe feeds (approximately)? Did you need to double it for your family? I have 6 kiddos (age 11 down to 6 mos). The 4 oldest eat as much as my husband and I do most of the time! I feel like I am feeding a small army… but I am so thankful they are healthy and eat well! Blessings!
Amy says
We added bread and it was enough. 🙂

We also love soups in the summer as well if they are cooked in the crockpot! Easy and much cooler than cooking with the oven or stove. I especially love soups that use sour cream. Thanks for sharing!

I’m enjoying your blogs on homeschool conferences. How fun!
Ally says
This could be year round soup thanks 🙂
jetzmama says
Sounds easy and delicious! Linked on fb.
homeschoolfarmmama says
Does a single recipe serve your whole family, or did you double it just for one meal? 1/2 lb meat and 4 cups potatoes doesn’t look like enough….
Amy says
We added bread and it was enough. 🙂

Thanks for the recipe. Soup is perfect for the summer, one stove top burner versus a 375 degree oven warming the whole house? It’s a no brainier, I’ll cook soup any old day! This one looks easy and tasty, can’t wait to try it.

Rhoda says
Tried the soup last night–had to modify slightly as I am allergic to potatoes (and a host of other things). Used cabbage instead. I also used Italian seasonings as I didn’t have any basil. Loved it. As not all of my family cares for cheese, I left the cheese out so each could add what they wanted. Worked out very well. Only other change–my husband added chili’s–he likes things spicy (another thing I am allergic to so can’t put in). Thank you for the recipe and the give away.
Samantha says
Soups are so wonderful to make. I agree that they are easy to make. What I enjoy best is that soups are easy to improvise and experiment with. One time I went to the fridge and took out some different vegetables that I had left from the week and whipped together to make my own homemade style vegetable soup. It was fun experimenting and knowing that everyone else actually enjoyed it too!
nancy says
Sounds good- now I’m hungry 🙂
Thanks!

Megan says
Hi Amy,
I just stumbled on this recipe and it sounds delicious!! I think my kids and even my husband will eat it. Two questions for you. What kind of cheese do you use, and have you made it in your crockpot? Wondering how long to keep it in there for. Thanks so much!
Amy says
I’m pretty much a cheddar cheese kind of gal. You can definitely do this in the crock pot. Try the typical high for 4-6 or low for 6-8. 🙂
