Reader Requests ~ Soups/Get Well Baskets

 

Black-eyed Pea and Cabbage Soup - The Southern Lady Cooks (recipe free online).

My take on this soup.  I made it as a crock pot soup.  I used a can of organic black-eye peas vs. dried.  It was delicious.  I will be making this again.  I also used my homemade jalapeno salt to season the meat in it.



Hearty 3-Bean Soup - Clean Food Crush (free recipe online)

My take on this soup - I made it as a crock pot soup, and did not cook any of the veggies in tallow on the stove first.  I used a can of organic fire roasted tomatoes vs the sun dried tomatoes.  I would use home canned tomatoes if we had them. I've made this 3 different times, and each time used up some leftover broth (vegetable, chicken and beef) from various recipes, and we have loved it!

I have a new biscuit recipe to try, that I have had sitting around for a few months now.  I thought it would be nice for the soup meals.  If I ever get around to making it, I will be sharing the results on that too.  

As for the compilation of the get well baskets, I have yet to get that all sorted out.  Various reasons have delayed that, but I will post when I have figured it all out.  Thanks for your patience.  There are many folks dealing with sickness right now, and a 17 year-old girl passed away from the flu in an area hospital here.  I am one to remind my husband to wash his hands up on arriving home from work anymore.
