  1. How I'll make veggie stock from here on out. Used water. Added barley after blending. Salt and pepper well. Yum!
     
  2. I love this cook book. Both my mom and I have been using it for close to 30 years now. Most recipes are very inexpensive, healthy and good for the environment.
     
  3. Good winter soup, with plenty of taste. I don't as a rule add the pepper until the end as I find pepper corn can make the soup bitter. That was the only change I made, and it was wonderful! Thank you for sharing this soup recipe with us!
     
  4. A great healthy warming soup! I left out the carrots and celery for just a potato leek soup and used FF chicken broth instead of water, it tasted wonderful. Thanks for this winner Kaarin.
     
  5. I am eating more simply these days, and I really enjoyed this soup! I lightly pureed the soup, leaving chunks of vegetables. I used vegetable bouillion in place of chicken and fresh parsley.Thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen! I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
