Hi Claudia, I’ll take it as a compliment if I can get a meat eater to give it a try.

Yeap i’m a meat-eater. But I’ll definitely try this first without the bacon since I gotta watch the sodium.

Anything for potatoes I love, specially during winter season. Thank you.

Okay, Kalinda. I made your cauliflower-potato soup, which I have now dubbed Caulitato soup, and it was dee-lish! Drop by and see my pics of the process. I told a friend of mine about your recipe, and he said he makes the identical soup but with broccoli instead of cauliflower. I may try it over the weekend. If it turns out good, mine will have to be called Broctato soup. Thanks again for sharing such a dee-lish and healthy recipe.

Glad to hear the soup went well. I look forward to seeing the pictures of your version.

Yum, Yum!
Kalinda… I made this soup tonite. We had raid today and it’s cool outside so it was perfect. The only difference is that I used red russets, which made nice dark crispy skins. We sprayed a buttery cooking spray on them and it worked fine. I was so happy with how tasty it was, I’m putting pics of my version up on my blog tomorrow. (I’ll be sure to link back to you in gratitude.) I made it nice and peppery. How much easier could a recipe be? Now… which of your soups should I try next? ~ Les

Hehe, Mike really liked the Voltron reference too.

Spritzing oil probably would be easier, but I think the skins get more evenly coated if you rub the oil in. Really I doubt it matters much either way.

I want some!

Also I think when we make it, I’ll put the potato skins on a paper towel and just spritz them with olive oil. It seems easier than rubbing each peel.

Loved the Voltron reference. But it only works for people who were kids or had kids at the right time. Others seem to look at me really funny when I use it. Good idea to ad the link.

Thanks, Kalinda, good to know. I had a “feeling” that barley was a no-no. I don’t suffer from any special ailment that I know of, but I do know that even though I’m 90% a vegetarian, (okay, that makes me a “flexitarian,) I get knock-out tired after almost any meal, large or small, veg or mixed.
So, after a bit of research, and with your helpful links, I may give wheatfree/meatfree a chance to alter this after-meal-wanna-go-to-sleep state. (Great name, by the way!) Have a great weekend. 60′s and sunny here in TexomaLand ~ Les

Thanks for stopping by Les, glad to hear you like the site. I'm sure I'll come up with more soup creations, the weather's going to get much colder before it warms up again. The lentil soup sounds great but barley is definitely not gluten-free. There's plenty of other grains to try. Here's a list detailing which flours and grains are gluten-free and which aren't.

It’s time for bed, so I can’t hang around your site for long right now, but WOW, that cauli-tato soup (how’s that for name?) sounds great. We had a dip in the temps here in Oklahoma a few days ago and threw together a great lentil soup. Bring on the cool weather, it’s SO good for soupin’! We started with a veggie broth and threw in some celery, onions, sweet green peas, cooked barley (is that gluten free… I wonder!) and cooked lentils. That with a bunch of herbs and spices and wah-lah. Great soup. Keep the soup recipes coming. I’m going to follow your site. Good job. (Thanks also to your husband for sharing your site addy with me.) ~ Les
