Soup -

edited December 2019 in General Discussion
1 1/2 lbs. Browned ground Chuck. A quart of Beef broth, three to four large rough diced carrots, about 2/3 of a bunch of rough diced celery, a bag of frozen peas, three small Gold Yukon potatoes, rough diced, a large rough diced onion sauteed in the browned chuck pan to deglaze. (Towards the end about 1/2 can of beer.)

All in a large Crock pot on high. Low this evening after high boil, Warm after that, and overnight. The rest of the beer poured in on top. Alas, I did not have the can of diced tomatoes I thought I had. :| I do have a can of high end Black bean Salsa. Main ingredient, diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans, cilantro, etc. etc. (Thinking about adding that in.) In lieu of the diced tomatoes. (Wanted some corn in it anyway.)

I will add Farfalle pasta towards the end. (Tomorrow morning.)

Should I throw in a package of Lipton Beefy Onion Soup? (Really bummed I've got no diced tomatoes.)

Sorry, no garbanzo beans on hand.

    Killing me. :shock:

    I reached out to a couple Buddies/neighbors. "Sorry, no diced tomatoes." It would be a 8-9 mile drive, to go pick up some fresh tomatoes, or a can of diced. (16-18 mile drive.) I am thinking I will add in the Jar of Black Bean Salsa, and make do.

    What do you think about the pkg. of Lipton Beefy Onion Soup? Too much?


    Oh yeah, the obligatory Salt/pepper, and a couple/three or four shots of Worchestershire.

    Without the garbanzo beans and diced tomatoes, you're sunk. Feed it to Buddy, over his dry food. ;)

    Not at all. Looking for input. You are close enough, you could bring me some fresh tomatoes or a can of diced, right Jim? :D

    I love soup and make a few from scratch. That being said "Progresso" make an organic Black Bean soup that I add a small amount of finally chopped onions to and then top off with a spoon full of sour creme. REALLY good stuff.

    Will have to give that a try. Sounds good. Had an "In Store Coupon," for Chunky Soup - last couple several times I was in, including this evening. 2 for $2. $1 ea. for a can of Chunky soup, is a deal. I have a bunch in the cupboard.

    I had a bunch of fresh Veggies in the fridge, decided to make a big pot of comfort food/soup.

    I am seriously bummed, I did not have any diced tomatoes. :cry:

    Remember: Mo is not Betty.

    Or something like that.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Unfortunately, my Cooking adage is "Mo, is Mo Betta." :cry:

    I usually regret it.

    I usually make way more than I can eat, before it goes bad, or I get sick of it. :?

    My last batch of Chili, does not qualify. Mmmnnn.......................... Had some yesterday, and the day before. Have another large portion to go, if I wish. It rocked. I will probably take it to my Mom's tomorrow, to trade on some homemade Potatoe pancakes. :D

    Sound like leftover soup/stew from when I was a kid. Had to do something to clean out the fridge before grocery shopping. Some concoctions were memorable in a good way and others not so much.

    Had a ham bone from Christmas ham so I made bean soup today. Kept it simple - beans, ham, chicken stock, celery, carrots, garlic, pepper, dry mustard, and a couple of bay leaves. Came out excellent and that's a good thing as there is enough for tomorrows dinner too. Add warm crusty bread and a salad and its an easy great meal. Bob

    Added the bow-tie (Farfalla) pasta about an hour ago, brought it back up to boil.

    House smelled Awesome upon waking up.

    OMG - Is this stuff good. Comfort food to the max. Overcast/rainy day. Supposed to turn cold. Worked on the inside wood yesterday in preparation.

    Perfect.
