"Only the pure in heart can make good soup." -Beethoven
While out for an afternoon drive, I stopped in at the (Amish) Country Pantry stand again. This time I picked up their Harvest Soup Mix. The mix is about 2lbs (1 1/2 cups). It is lentils, brown rice, green split peas, yellow split peas, and wild rice.
The other ingredients needed for the recipe:
4 c. water
1 c. carrots (diced or sliced)
1 c. celery and leaf (finely chopped)
1 c. shredded cabbage
1 c. diced tomatoes
1 tsp salt (According to taste)
1/4 tsp pepper (According to taste)
1 tsp. chicken broth mix (according to taste) or boullion cubes
1/2 lb cooked chicken, turkey or ground beef
1. Place water and Harvest Soup Mix in a heavy pot and simmer for 1 hour.
2. Add all other ingredietns and simmer another hour.
Options to Soup: Make with smoked sausage and add 1 cup of each fresh diced apples and sweet potatoes, instead of tomatoes. Other spices that can be added: savory, garlic and tarragon.

ReplyDeleteDid Beethoven really say that? Everybody loves soup!
ReplyDeleteThey say so, Mrs. Lisa. (giggle)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the soup recipe. I have not saw this mix in our stores but I think I could easily put it together. Thanks for sharing the ingredients. Enjoy your day and God bless.
ReplyDeleteThat looks and sound wonderful, but as the temperature has been about 80 all week until today's cold front of 70, I think soup will have to wait until the fall.
ReplyDeleteMaria, I could only wish it was in the 80s! I keep getting the itching to go South to warmer climates! I would love to have a trip to Augusta or Savannah right about now! It is in the 40's here! And, it is raining. Please, Send me some of your lovely sunshine!
ReplyDeleteWell, that explains why I've never been able to make soup!
ReplyDelete"ME" You should ask me if it turned out well!
