Love this time of year! There is a light chill in the air and we are thankful for it!! So many reasons to enjoy this time of year—
Time to wear hand knit socks!!
- Time to cuddle up in a comfy chair and read a book
Recent birthday gift from brown headed daughter
I love that if she has read the book, she includes a review on post it note!- And….. lots of soups!
- First up--chicken sausage gumbo! I take the easy way out with this gumbo mix--all the spices and thickening agents you need. Just add cooked chicken (found half rotisserie chicken in freezer) and always have smoked sausage on hand! Instead of rice, we use riced cauliflower--Yummy good! Along side we have a nice loaf of French bread.
- Second night--split pea soup! I know, most people don't like split pea but we do especially when we add smoked ham hocks as the seasoning meat
- We put the fresh ham hocks on the smoker for several hours, then bake them two hours and now added to the slow cooker
Cooking on low while we do errands and tonight we will have a cooked soup ready for the table! Yum! Yum!Another soup—tomato basil soup! One of my favorite from National known restaurant! Instead of buying the ready made jar, I decided to try my hand at making this delicious mixture.After all, our basil had been trimmed before first frost—let’s begin……..fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, vegetable broth, etc
Look at this delish bowl of tomato basil soup! Served with toasted cheese sandwich on jalapeño cheese bread! Great meal!
- This weekend we are hosting family and friends for chili and veggie soup (hubby makes a great soup with beef stock and lots of fresh veggies) I make the chili and will have lots of goodies accomplishing the soup night==of course, by Saturday night, the temperature will be near 80 again--down goes the AC for sure!
