A question, re: soup on this snowy day. [View all]

Making chix soup (from 2 day old rotisserie chix) and thinking of adding some cut-up potatoes. Got a few medium new pots, nice looking, but have one BIG older one and a bunch from package of little old ones. Which should I use> Should I bother with the little old ones, or just ditch them?

Got a FRESH bunch of dill, always think of Grandma so add dill to chix soup!

HAVE a good day!

Use the older potatoes. Scrub, cut and rinse. LuvLoogie Jan 2025 #2
