1 Kitchen sink coming right up.

Yes Yes I have been a blogging slacker. I just can't help it. It's Christmas. and I am busy with all things Christmas. Making gifts, baking, parties, music, trees, sledding, dresses. It is so awesome and happy. I think I could be an elf. I look fantastic in green and red. But for all those out there who still read this thing (if there is any) then I have a treat for you.....

Cure your Cold and Warm your Soul (or tummy) Soup.

(dusty emailed me from work yesterday and said he was SICK. He hardly ever gets sick (thank goodness- cause he thinks he is going to die) and so I made him soup. Only I had no chicken. Or noodles. So this is what I came up with....

2lbs of ground beef
6 cups of beef broth.
4 cups of water
3 large carrots
1 onion
2 heaping tablespoons of garlic
1 large can of tomatoes
1 can of corn
1/2 head of broccoli
1/2 head of cauliflower
1 can of lentils
1 bag of baby spinach chopped.
pepper.
Parmesan cheese.

Cook the ground beef in the stock. Add the water. Bring to a boil. Put in onion (quartered) and carrots and garlic. Cook for 10 minutes, boiling at medium heat. Add tomatoes and corn and broccoli and cauliflower and lentils and baby spinach. Cook over medium heat for 20 more minutes. This is soup. So the longer it simmers the better... I also throw in the rind of my Parmesan cheese and let it simmer with the soup. I think it adds flavor. Season according to your tastes. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on it. Enjoy.
I did.
