You get into the funniest trouble there. LOL!

I’ve never been to FB and don’t intend to ever go there.

Things are ok here. Dry for a change, which is nice. It’s awfully soupy after the weekend we had.

Snagged it! :)

[Publius]

You are Chili

You are a competitive and fun-loving person.
You love the outdoors. You enjoy games and sports of all kinds.

You are an adventurous and gutsy eater. If it's unusual, you're game!
You'll go for strange ingredients, mystery meat, and spicy flavors.

[luvie]

That’s the soup of choice for a cold winter day!

[luvie]

Shhhh....BiteMe will have this one banned next! LOL!

A friend recommends making chili with three each of three main ingredients:

Three meats
Three beans
Three veggies

I always do the three beans (white, black, & red) and sometimes the three veggies (two colors of peppers and onions) but I haven’t figured out the third meat. Beef and venison for sure...

Suggestions?

[luvie]

Pork?

It’s a sin in Texas to put beans in chili!!! Shaaaaame. LOL!

[lightman]

Pork has definitely been under consideration!

[luvie]

One of your veggies should be...well...chilies. LOL!

I was never a ‘Seinfeld’ fan; but the real man behind the Soup Nazi character produced a line of soup that we could buy in the supermarket for years. The Lobster Bisque was wonderful - but the company ran into some trouble, and I haven’t been able to find the soups in the stores in recent years.

Although it says I'm chili, that's not accurate. This is my favorite soup, and it's from my late mother's recipe book that she willed me. It's what soups were like before the health wussies took over.

***

2 cups dried beans
2 leeks, white part only
1 stalk celery, minced
1 carrot, minced
1/3 cup celery leaves, minced
6 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
1 lb smoked ham hocks
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/8 tsp mustard seed
1/3 cup dry sherry
1 tsp salt

In a large saucepan cover the beans, rinsed and picked over, with 6 cups of water and let stand overnight.

Add 4 cups of water, bring to a boil over moderate heat, and simmer the beans, covered, for 1-1/2 hours. Mash the beans with a potato masher if desired.

In a kettle, cook the leeks (well washed), celery, carrot, celery leaves in butter until the vegetables are softened. Add flour, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the beans, including the liquid, ham hocks, 2 cups of water, minced parsley and mustard seed. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, and simmer, covered, for 3-4 hours. Add water if necessary to keep the beans covered.

Transfer the hocks with a slotted spoon to a bowl, and remove the meat from the bones. Stir in the meat, sherry and salt, and heat moderately, stirring all the while, until it is all mixed in.

A note from Mom: You can freeze this one for the winter.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nope...it just hangs on the wall. I’ll have to upload the pic to share.

[lightman]

Sounds great....copying and saving for next winter!

[TianaHighrider]

Chicken noodley too!

[buckalfa]

Chicken noodle soup? I always thought of myself as a tomato bisque guy.

[luvie]

Give it a shot!

[luvie]

Can’t beat it when you’re not feeling good. Like mama’s arms around you. :)

[luvie]

Shows how much you know. LOL
