Comfort Food

This is my husband's favorite soup called cabbage patch soup. It is that time of year when you want a hot bowl of soup and a slice of buttery toasted bread. For the recipe


Cabbage Patch Soup

2 lbs ground beef or turkey
3/4 large cabbage sliced
1 large yellow onion
4 stalks celery chopped
2 cans kidney beans
1 large can diced tomatoes
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 T. chili powder

Brown ground beef in separate skillet. Place cabbage, onion, and celery in large dutch oven and cook until translucent. Add water to cover and tomatoes, kidney beans  and seasoned meat and other seasonings. Simmer for 45 minutes. This makes a large pot and freezes well. You can cut down the recipe, of course, but if I am going to make it I like to have some to put in the freezer. 

Our favorite breakfast on cool days is cooked oatmeal with fresh fruit. I can't eat those microwave packets after the real thing.
