I made soup yesterday. We've got the midwinter gray skies, but mostly in the upper 30s, lower 40s which makes it damp and yucky (clear skies below freezing are so much more comfy than rain at 40).
All I did to start was throw in a small chuck roast and onion soup mix and small potatos and carrots into a crock pot. Ate most of the roast last night. Today, I added cabbage and celery and onions. Had that for lunch. After lunch, I added more soup mix and some dried tomatos and zucchini. If we don't eat this up, tomorrow I will add some turnips and maybe cook some dry hominy to the soup. I am craving vegetable soup right now big time.
Only problem with all this soup making is I haven't found the box my spice shelf got packed in...it's not seasoned nearly as well as I like it....
You cook like I do. If it's one meal today, the same ingredients are called something else the next, LOL! (That comes from years of practice feeding three teen boys.)
