Baked Murphy Soup & Salad Alongside Slow Buttermilk Garlic Dressing

I used to brand Baked Potato Soup constantly when I was catering - tiffin meetings for clients, or ladies luncheon showers.  It is thus satisfying in addition to filling - inwards a decadent form of way.  It is definitely something fabulous to serve for a exceptional occasion.  Therefore... it is non something that I brand often.  It is only difficult for me to serve for dinner during the calendar week because it actually has no nutritional value.  I'm non anti-potato/carb similar many people are, I only similar to receive got unopen to form of salubrious ease to a meal.  But, it is such a yummy soup...

Which brings me to this salad.  I somehow experience ameliorate nearly serving this rich soup amongst a large platter of fresh greens in addition to veggies inwards the shape of a salad.  I modeled the dressing off of ane of our favorite comfort nutrient restaurants, Houston's.  The recipe is thus tardily - you lot in all likelihood receive got everything you lot need, (except buttermilk) in addition to it takes seconds to stir together.  Again, I sympathize that a mayo/sour cream dressing topped salad isn't necessarily "health food" but it is fresh, homemade, crunchy in addition to sum of nutrients.

Emma decided that it was her "new favorite snack" - equally she told Mike when he got home.  Of course, I intend she was only dipping the chopped bacon inwards dressing, thus who wouldn't similar that?
