Hi Stephanie, I will try this recipe out and I left you one to try too.

It probably tastes better the next day!

Hi Stephanie, and other ladies, for your enjoyment, here is a Belgian recipe which I adore and it’s the first time I made it from scratch. It makes 3 rather large portions.

8 ozs or so stewing pork or beef
2 sticks celery
3 leeks
5 big onions
2 medium sized potatoes (the floury type)
4 or 5 carrots
2 turnips

Melt some oil or margarine and fry the pork or beef cut into chunks. Cover with 1/2 litre (2 cups) of water. Cover and stew for 30 minutes). In the meantime, peel and chop rather large pieces of vegetables. Add this to the stockpot after the 30 minutes, and simmer for another 1 hour. (I added to the recipe thyme, bayleaf, and parsley).

I wolfed one portion while it was still hot! It was so good. (And I reckon you could make this recipe for a baby too – cos I didn’t put any salt in mine until the end and this is lovely for vegetarians once you take the meat out).

I tried out your Hamburger Vegetable Soup recipe and it was fantastic. I made it as a freezer meal a couple week ago, and we ate it for supper tonight. It was a great meal. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!

I think you need to use a pressure cooker to can your soup. I did chili and it is great.

I’m a soup lover, too. I have been hopping around your blog and the New England Chowder looks yummy, as does the apple crisp.

I generally use a roast to make my vegetable soup, but when I was younger and could only afford hamburger…that is what I used. We really loved the flavor of the soup with the ground beef and sometimes I still do it that way. It really gives an entirely different taste to a beef vegetable soup. Great recipe.

What a nice recipe! I’m sure that your family appreciates your efforts to feed them well but frugally. It sometimes seems thats a dying art. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
