I put every imaginable vegetable known to man in it ... tomatos, potatos, carrotts, okra, corn, peas, onion, celery, green beans, mushrooms ... and some stew beef for flavor. It was absolutely delicious!
I grew up in a tiny little place in Florida called Eloise. We were very close to several of our neighbors, and one of them was Margie McKee. Everytime she made vegetable soup for her family, she made enough for our family. So ... yesterday I decided to carry on this tradition for a family in our neighborhood. I made two crockpots full of vegetable soup. One for us and one for the Oakes Family. I hope they enjoyed it as much as we did.
Mmmmmm ... good ... chock full of veggies
A closer look
You absolutely can not have soup without grilled cheese sandwiches. I know there are many ways to make them ... but my favorite is to butter the bread and cook them up in a frying pan. They are so buttery and gooey ... yum!!
So ... if it's cold in your neck of the woods, why not dust off the crockpot and make some vegetable soup?
How very thoughtful of you to carry on such a delightful and yummy tradition. If Margie McKee was just a quarter as thoughtful and nice as you are Missy she must have been wonderful! I can almost smell your soup back here in Florida. Miss you girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteMissy, we did the same thing too! laugh, I can tell we're from Pennsylvania, burrrh! cold too. Not sure if we saw 29 degrees this weekend but we saw the 30's.....we have a whoLe crockpot full of veggie beef stew too. Nothing like grilled cheese with beef stew, I know where your coming from!

ReplyDeleteThat is very sweet of you to carry on the tradition. I'm SURE the Oakes family very much appreciated it...especially since it's so cold there. I'm still in shorts and no shoes here. :o)
