Cooking?

So, again with the time intensive hobbies in fits and starts (I'm sure one day, I will take up large loom weaving or something like that).

We acquired, through the generosity of Macy's gift cards as wedding gifts, a Le Creuset dutch oven. I really want to use this beautiful piece of cookware.

However, over the past few weeks I have attempted to "throw together" some recipes in the slow cooker from leftover ingredients. Let's just say that I do not have the necessary cooking chops to throw together anything. Or at least anything edible.

So, tonight I strictly followed this recipe for potato soup. It just finished simmering for 2 hours, and we tasted it... and honestly I don't think it is very good. I think I put too much onion in it. I don't know how much onion 1/2 lb. of onion is. Apparently it is not one whole huge onion. Probably something between a whole huge onion and no onion at all.

Also, 1% milk is not the same as heavy whipping cream. That is all.

Update: Letting the soup sit has made it more delicious. With tons of cheese and sour cream (which is how I'd eat it anyways), I say it is definitely edible.
