Is there anything lovelier than soup?
At the end of a long day full of a kajillion tasks and responsibilities, a bowl of soup soothes the rough edges on a frazzled family. Serve it with warm, buttered cornbread fresh from the oven and dinner will be the best part of your day. [Read more...]
At the end of January I posted 19 Soup Recipes to Warm You Up. I asked for your favorite recipes and several of you passed on good ones. This recipe was shared by Connie. It caught my eye for two reasons. 1) It uses Italian sausage and I have a freezer full of the stuff from my niece’s 4-H project. 2) It’s fast and easy.
The soup was delicious. I admit to being skeptical when I poured in the can of butter beans. I wasn’t too sure it looked good and I didn’t think my kids would eat it. I was wrong. The soup was wonderful and the kids loved it (except my child who hates all things sausage). My youngest, very picky son even loved the butter beans. The wonders never cease. [Read more...]
So, I made up a new soup recipe. I wanted a beef vegetable soup that I could just throw the ingredients in the crockpot and let it all cook together. Most of the beef vegetable soups I’ve seen involve cooking the beef first and then adding it to the soup. I was feeling too lazy for that. Here’s what I came up with. Substitute as needed.

I love soup. A warm bowl of soup with a slice of good bread or a muffin or biscuit and I’m a happy person. Here are 19 recipes to choose from. And I’d love it if you’d leave your favorite recipe in the comments (you can link to your blog, if you like). That way I’ll have more to try too. [Read more...]
Two great things about this soup: 1) It’s easy and quick 2) everyone adds their own Tabasco and soy sauce so it can be mild for the picky eaters and full of flavor for the adventurous. I adapted the recipe from More with Less Cookbook. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]
Last week I posted Broccoli Soup, which I do really like but I think I liked this Cauliflower Soup even better. It was very mild and creamy. All 6 of us finished our bowls. In fact, we emptied the whole pot. Next time I think I’ll double the recipe. [Read more...]
I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. I am President of the United States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli. – George Bush
I hope you don’t have the same aversion to broccoli that George Bush does, because this is a very good soup and I’d hate for you to miss out on it. It’s warm, creamy and comforting. [Read more...]
If you’re trying to lose weight or eat more veggies, this is the soup for you. It’s also great if you just want a quick, easy and healthy meal. The ingredients are simple and you can add any veggie that you like or have hanging around in your fridge. [Read more...]
I don’t think I’d ever eaten hominy until I made this stew. It was a nice compliment to the tomatoes. I adapted the recipe from Cooking During Stolen Moments. The stew comes together quickly and it’s wonderful to put it all in the crockpot and come home later to a warm, filing meal. [Read more...]
I’m not really sure what to call this soup. I made it up one night to go with sandwiches. I was looking for a minestrone recipe and decided to make up my own. True confession: I’ve never eaten minestrone and really didn’t know what was in it. I’m pretty sure this isn’t quite like minestrone, but it is really good.
The ingredients are simple and adaptable to what you have hanging around in your kitchen. The soup comes together quick too. Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]
