Soups...for the cold weather

[K00lKatT]

some soups I like: hints: I use cut up country cured ham rather than hocks in the ham & bean soup. I also soak beans overnite rather than the quick method
in the minestrone I use penne pasta and add a sliced up link or two of salsicca (Italian sausage). I may or may not add links sliced of Brats to the split pea soup
or the Lentil soup....have fun with em.....enjoy

I tried your chicken soup or came close to it anyway. Was great
Haven't tried this one yet, even thou I grabbed the .pdf awhile ago.

But it's gotten cold out here again and my soup pot is empty

I never used the rice in the Chicken soup, but did add the corn thou... And I could not find the vegetable 'okra' anywhere. I guess it would have added stalk to the soup/gumbo
Still thou, damn fine. I used extra tomato juices too and broth
And pepper
Was like soup.. Next time, I'll make it more like gumbo.
But first this one here posted, I'll have to try soon

check the frozen vegetable area of your market, comes in a bag and already sliced...don't use canned, it will cook away to nothing...
