That sounds like a pretty decent potato soup recipe. I love potato and ham soup, and had it several times this winter. I personally would probably take this recipe and add cubed ham. I like to make spices and seasoning, so the Jane’s Crazy salt sounds like something I’d make too.

Thanks for the soup recipe!
But even GREATER thanks for the spice mix recipe (I copied it separately!)
I just adore great seasoning when I’m cooking.

Take care,

Homemade salt???

I see, so you are talking about homemade SEASONED salt, not homemade salt, per se.

You could collect water from the ocean and let it evaporate leaving the salt.
