Lab: Potato Soup and Corn Bread. Should have at least one hour to complete lab. Review the recipe again with the students.

One person will prepare the 1 cup white sauce. If anybody was absent from the day before, they only way they can get credit is they make it for their unit or another unit today. Have it checked off. After the white sauce has thickened, stir in 1/2 can cream of mushroom soup shared by two units. Turn heat on stove to low and let sit until ready to use.

One or two people will wash, peel, cut vegetables and put on stove. Cover vegetables barely with water, salt and pepper. Bring water and vegetables to a boil, then turn heat down and continue to cook until tender. Test with a fork.

One person will half the recipe for the corn bread and prepare.

When combining white sauce mixture and vegetables, drain vegetables if they want a thick soup; leave water in vegetables if they want a runny soup and add vegetable water back to desired thickness if not sure.

Make sure corn bread and soup are done at the same time. Eat and evaluate lab, clean up units, turn in papers before the end of class.

Students can work on Mostly About Milk with any extra time.
