My Sister\u2019s Winter Soup Recipe:<\/strong><\/p>\n Here is a recipe for one of my sister’s favorite winter soups.\u00a0 It takes 5 min or so to put together.\u00a0 She usually uses a crock pot but stove top is ok, too – just have to watch it<\/p>\n 1\/2 bag of frozen chopped onions or mirepoix mix<\/p>\n 1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables for soup<\/p>\n 1 quart of vegetable stock<\/p>\n 2 boullion cubes<\/p>\n 1 t chopped garlic (she has teaspoon, but garlic is always good for you!)<\/p>\n 2 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes<\/p>\n 1 bag of frozen butternut squash<\/p>\n salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n other seasonings to taste – parsley, basil etc<\/p>\n optional – 1 bag of frozen meatballs – Sis uses the vegetarian ones but regular meatballs are ok too<\/p>\n optional – a handful of short pasta<\/p>\n Put all of the ingredients in a 5 qt crock, turn on high and cook until done – 5-6 hrs<\/p>\n This is a version of WW zero point soup.\u00a0 Very healthy<\/p>\n Okay, since this is Thursday and I was out of communication because my battery went dead and I didn’t take the charger cord along, like a butthead, and all my PINS and PWORDs leaked out of my head, I’m leaving the rest of it up to you.\u00a0 I’d add a good pan of cornbread or cornbread muffins, a platter of cut fresh vegs and fruit on the side, good coffee or hot tea and a really, really good dessert of your choice. Any of your favorite dishes, if you have the recipe, can be posted here, too. The more the better.<\/p>\n And as a way to make it even better when you serve it, none of the Democrats like Bloomberg. They won’t let him play with them. That should spice this up a bit. He’s out to buy the election. He has NO platform, just get rid of Trump. That isn’t a platform, but it is ridiculous. Sit back and watch the show, boys and girls!\u00a0 Dis gonna be good!<\/p>\n Be nice to each other, stay warm, and never ever play poker with an octopus. They all cheat.<\/p>\n Maybe we’ll get lucky and AW1Ed will be kind enough to share his recipe for shrimp with cheese grits….
