When my stepson was a small child his grandmother would babysit him a lot, but he would never even try any vegetable let alone eat any of them no matter what she served him. He went through an “everything cowboy” stage when he was about 4 or 5 years old, so she renamed her Quick Hamburger Soup, Cowboy Soup in the hope she might finally get him to try a vegetable. My step son of course had to have some of it, even if it did have vegetables in it. He decided if cowboys would eat the veggies in this soup then they must taste okay, so he tried them and found out he liked the vegetables in the soup. For years the only vegetables he would eat were the ones that were in Cowboy soup.

We decided to make it last night with some cornbread for dinner as we were all in the mood for soup with the cold weather. The ingredients are ones just about everyone has in their pantry, so it is great for those nights when you don't know what to cook. Hope you enjoy it!

Cowboy Soup 1 lb. ground beef 6 oz. Jimmy Dean sausage (or other spiced pork sausage) 1 medium onion (or a palm full of dried) 6 cups vegetable stock (can substitute with beef or chicken stock) 5 or six russet potatoes pealed and diced) 1 large drink size can of V8 juice or two 5.5 oz. size 1 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes 1 can of green beans (drained) 1 can of corn (drained) or the equivalent frozen corn ½ tsp. garlic powder Dash of Worcestershire sauce Salt and pepper to taste Brown ground beef and sausage. Add onion and sauté until tender (If using dried onion add onion with the stock). Add stock and potatoes and cook until potatoes are just shy of being done. Add V8 juice, tomatoes, green beans, corn, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder and heat until all vegetables are cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Note: The canned vegetables and V8 juice have a sufficient amount of salt that we wait until the end of the cooking and then season with salt and pepper as needed so the soup does not become too salty.

It’s real yummy, they aren’t lying when they named it ‘moist’

The icing will make your teeth ache though, but worth it....:)

Thank you, same to you! Need prayers for my four year old, she is so sick, high fever for 3.5 days now, occasional vomiting at night from phlegm but no real other symptoms. I just need her to turn the corner and start to seem really better. (Yes, we have called the nurses but they say if fever is it, we can wait til Monday to bring her in but it’s been since Tuesday night.)

Prayers for your little girl Yaelle. Put a wash cloth under cold water and place it on her forehead. After 15 minutes turn it over. We do that when fever gets high. Prayers now.
