Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Hearty Vegetable Soup

Winter weather demands steaming bowls of hot soup.  This recipe whips up in no time, with ingredients commonly found in the pantry.



Hearty Vegetable Soup

Brown 1-2 pounds ground turkey or ground beef.  Add 2 (15-oz.) cans of tomato sauce, 2 pints canned tomatoes, 1 shredded carrot, 2 cups shredded zucchini, 1 can green beans, 1 can corn, and salt and pepper to taste. 

Thanks for warm food on cold days.

    I made a pot of vegetable soup this weekend but used beans instead of meat for protein. It was perfect fuel for a cold winter day.

    Could have used this last week when it was so cold here. I am thankful that it is back up to 80 today!

    Yum! Thank you for using canned tomatoes. I put up a few hundred cans of tomatoes last fall and I need more ideas.

    That does sound fast and easy. I have never thought to shred veggies for soup. I think it's a good idea so I'll have to give it a try.

Ten Things of Thankful: 39 Years Edition

A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours.  I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...

Ten Things of Thankful: April Showers Edition

  A red peony bud prepares to open fully  After an incredibly dry winter, we had a bit of precipitation this past week, in the form of falling snow. We didn't have much, and it didn't really stick, but we'll take water however it wants to come. Fortunately, my peonies seem unaffected by the cold snap, and are ready to put on a show here soon. 1. I'm thankful for moisture. 2. I'm thankful the flowers are still going to bloom. I don't know how the colder temperatures will affect the fruit crops. The strawberries look like they are still planning to set fruit. We'll have to see what happens with the peach, apricot, pear, and apple. (The apricot only bears heavily every other year anyway, and I think this is an "off" year--though I could be wrong.) Strawberry plants in full bloom 3. I'm thankful for anticipated berries.  We continue to clear out and otherwise prepare John's parents' house for sale. I've been going through old photos and...
