Those of you who've been reading me for awhile may recall the debacle of the vegetable soup last winter; the 3 gallons of vegetable soup I made right before the big ice storm. There were only two of us here to eat it! A lot went in the freezer and we did our best to eat our vegetables, but it was a lot of soup. I vowed never to do that again, but as you know time softens memory. Its sort of like the pain of childbirth, you forget after awhile. Anyway, I'm making a long story even longer than it needs to be. Today I made 3 gallons of Minestrone, a nice Italian vegetable soup with beans and pasta. But was that enough for me? Oh no, I also made a pot of Butternut Squash soup and 3 loaves of Zucchini Bread. (I only made the squash soup because I bought the squash at the store this week and had to use it, and I only made the bread because I had a large zucchini leftover that wouldn't fit into the gigantic soup pot.) I think I don't have to cook anymore now for the rest of the year. I think I need a bigger freezer. I think I need an intervention.
I won't post this recipe unless someone needs soup for 30.

ReplyDeleteKristin - Maryland. Its only what 2,000 miles or so from where you are? A five hour plane ride and you too could belly up to a big bowl.
Me too.
ReplyDeleteI really miss cooking like that. We use to make soup in pans like that every Sept. when we took everything out of the 1/4 mile long garden we had every year. We used everything mom had left over from canning.
ReplyDeleteYou might have needed more than one of those pans for a garden that size.
ReplyDeleteThat soooouuup..to die for.
ReplyDeleteGod, I hope not. Do you think that's what made me sick?
