Deb Black shared this fantastic soup recipe with me. It will really hit the spot on cold, wintry days. Make a snowman with the kids and then have a hot bowl of soup!
3 Tbsp. of bacon grease (or cook 3 slices of chopped bacon)
1 clove of garlic minced
1 medium onion chopped
1/4 cup fresh minced parsley or 2 Tbsp. dried parsley
2 stalks celery chopped
2 carrots, diced or chopped
1 large potato diced
1/2 medium cabbage, finely chopped or coarsely grated in food processor
Saute all of these in a large pot about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often until vegetables are tender.
Add the following to the vegetables:
1 28 oz can of tomatoes-slightly blended if desired
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. salt
1 15 oz. can of kidney, white pinto or northern beans
2 qts. of soup stock - chicken or beef (2 qts. of water with 2 Tbsp. of beef or chicken bouillon)
Simmer for 45 minutes - add noodles and cook for another 10 to 12 minutes.
Thanks Deb for sharing.
