Turnpike Soup
"A creamy vegetable soup. Our family once had this soup in a restaurant along the Ohio Turnpike, so we call it Turnpike Soup. Through the years we've tried to duplicate it. You can vary the vegetables and amounts very easily. (Don't recommend using beets)."

A delicious and comforting soup which was easy to make! I used some excess white sauce from a lasagne I was making - I was not sure how much to use, so put 1/2 pint in. I thoroughly enjoyed this, Malcom would have liked a bit more seasoning - but he always says that! Next time I make this lovely soup, I will add some pepper and maybe a touch of celery salt might be nice to enhance the vegetables too. Made and very much enjoyed having just finished a bulk baking/cooking in the kitchen, and having had a marathon supermarket shopping session in the morning! Made for Photo Tag! Thanks jswinks! FT:-)

<p>I'm currently a stay at home mom to two boys (7 and 5). Most of the time I feel like this is more challenging than my old job as an IT analyst! My husband is super, and is supportive of anything I do - currently addicted to zaar! We've been married 9 years, both our second time around). <br /> <br />I love scrapbooking, cloth diapering, organizing, getting things for really good deals, and spending time with my family. We're in the process of going green and having lots of fun doing it. I have an Etsy store: www.winkydinks.etsy.com<br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars - outstanding. Save this one for company or make it very often for ourselves. <br />4 stars - very good. Something we would definitely make again (and again). <br />3 stars - was good. Tastes may not have suited us but was a good recipe. May or may not try it again. <br />2 stars - was ok. Probably would not make again. <br />1 star - didn't turn out, would not make again. <br /> <br /><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/pt-shutterbug-banner-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg alt= /></p>
