We found a piece of
pork in our soup yesterday. This was rather shocking because we
couldn't remember adding pork to our soup since last spring.
We love our soup.
Every once in a week or two we take out our large rock hard frozen
soup canister and after thawing it in our large soup pot we eye it up
to see if it's enough for a meal. This is seldom the case, so we
look through our fridge and freezer and cupboards to see what we have
on hand to bring it up to a sustainable level. Anything is fair
game, however we do avoid macaroni unless it is a dire emergency
while funds are low because macaroni tends to get a little soggy
after several rounds of reheating.
This soup has a
delicious flavour, mellowed over the years with cabbage, green beans,
corn, peas, carrots, celery, dill, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes,
turnips, beets, and of course tomatoes to mention the more common
veggies. Then there are the meats which is often browned hamburger,
left over chicken, the last scraps of a roast be it beef or pork, and
in the case of our piece of pork which we remembered vividly being
from two frozen pork chops which we cut up and added on May 23 this
spring. If it accidentally gets too thin from a half hazard guess at
adding water before it gets thawed in the pot we just add a dump of
rice, white or brown, to the mix and vuala (that's the dumbassed
English way of spelling the french voila), we have a thick and
nutritious meal with a few slices of homemade brown bread.
If you wish to use this
delicious recipe, a dire warning, never add fish. We inadvertently
added a frozen package of unknown substance several years ago which
turned out to be salmon as our noses awoke to the aroma. It took a
whole year before our three cats no longer fought us over our
vittles. And it smells up the house a little. Just a warning :)
