We children could hardly wait for our dinner of soup, hot rolls and apple pie!-Dorothy Miller, Royersford, Pennsylvania

BEEF AND GARDEN VEGETABLE SOUP
A pot of yummy deliciousness, that's what this soup is. Good for a chilly day when a bowl of warm soup is just what you need, or when you want to use up your fresh summer veggies. Goes well with a loaf of crusty Italian bread. You can put pretty much any vegetable combination in this soup. I have used chopped fresh okra; it's good for a nice pop in your mouth. You can also use pearled barley in place of the oro pasta. Just add it to the soup when you put in the veggies, and an extra cup of water. I like that it makes a big pot, because it's even better as leftovers.

GARDEN FRESH VEGETABLE SOUP
I like this recipe because it's so flexible. It's terrific for people who grow their own vegetables or for people (like me) who love shopping at farmer's markets. This can be vegetarian by leaving out the ground beef and bacon and substituting vegetable broth for the beef broth. This is a nutritious, economical recipe that is easy to multiply for a crowd. Adapted from a Sunset recipe.

This is my variation of the Zero Point Soup from Weight Watchers. The original recipe had cabbage in it and since I'm not a fan of cabbage, I changed it up a little bit. Sometimes I add chopped chicken to individual servings for added protein.

CREAMY GARDEN VEGETABLE CURRY SOUP
With the veggies from my garden, plus veggies shared by my family and neighbors, sometimes the amount of homegrown veggies becomes overwhelming; usually I make spaghetti sauce, soup, use them in salads, and freeze the rest.

- 5. Add spices. Simmer covered for 10 minutes.
- 6. Turn off heat. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
- 7. Blend half of the soup; 3 ladles at a time in the blender. Return blended soup to pot with the unblended soup.
- 8. Turn heat back on to simmer. Add the cream or half and half, as well as the cream cheese. Cover and let simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to melt the cheese.
- 9. Let sit at room temp for 10 minutes before serving. If the soup is too heavy, add splash of half and half / cream, or a little milk. I love a lasting taste of paprika, so I garnish it with that!
Tips:
