GRANNY'S HOMEMADE SOUP



Granny's Homemade Soup image

My Granny sure was a "Good Cooker"! We all loved her food especially certain things like her soup. We all try to make ours taste "just like Grannys". When we make it we are sure to call everyone and brag. I normally boil a whole chicken and use most of it for the soup and a little for something else. Granny never drained the cans of veggies, but I never lose as much water as she did, maybe because I put a cover on the boiling chicken.

Provided by Chef Mommie

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 chicken breast halves, with skin and bones
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
1 piece celery (washed and sliced)
2 carrots (washed and sliced)
1 medium sized onion (diced)
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce (or 1 can tomato soup)
1 (15 ounce) can butter beans (drained)
1 (15 ounce) can whole corn (drained)
3 -4 potatoes (peeled and cut in small blocks)

Steps:

  • Wash chicken.
  • Put in large pot and cover above chicken with hot water about 1 inch.
  • Open tomatoes and drain juice into pot.
  • Crush tomatoes with hands and add to pot.
  • Wash celery and carrots, then slice and add to pot.
  • Bring to a boil and then cover and lower temp to a low boil and cook 1 hour.
  • Watch to make sure liquid doesn't boil out. If it gets low add a little more water.
  • Remove chicken, set aside and let cool.
  • Add potatoes and cook 30 more minutes.
  • After potatoes are done, take 3 or 4 chunks and smash them on the side of the pan. This will help to thicken the soup.
  • Add onion, tomato SOUP (or sauce), corn and butter beans and cook about 10 minutes.
  • Pull the chicken off the bone and add to pot.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste now or in your own bowl. I personally think salt is a must in this soup.
  • Stir and serve.
  • Delicious!

GRANNY'S OKRA SOUP



Granny's Okra Soup image

A delicious beef and vegetable soup that is a variation on the okra and tomato-based soup my great-grandmother used to make on the farm in Alabama. It's great with fresh or canned veggies, works with just about any alterations - I use fresh, locally-grown ingredients and it's always amazing. All ingredient measurements are approximate. The important thing about Granny's okra soup is that the tomato is the main ingredient, but okra, lima beans and potatoes are important too. Adding or subtracting other vegetables to taste or based on availability is perfectly acceptable.

3 tablespoons butter

  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic when butter stops bubbling; cook and stir for 1 minute. Spread ground beef evenly in the pan. Cook until it has a nice brown sear, stirring minimally to end up with mostly medium-sized chunks, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain skillet and add beef, onions, and garlic to the soup pot.

2 -3 stock, cubes depending on taste (use gluten free stock cubes if you want the gluten free soup)

1 -2 pint water

Steps:

  • Boil the water, add the stock cubes.

  • Variations-
  • *add ham/bacon.
