Ahhh...soup!

There's nothing like a big mug of hearty soup to make me feel great this time of year...well...anytime really! We eat a lot of soup this time of year...yesterday we made this in the crock pot...and for the next few days...it will make great lunches! It is filled with all sorts of yummy vegetables and a few handfuls of a dry bean mix, plus lots of fresh herbs from my garden and so easy to make! I don't really have a recipe...I just toss in a few handfuls of dry beans, a can of tomatoes, onion and celery...herbs and some vegetable bullion...beef if you like...you can use leftover meat in here too if you like...a few bay leaves and rosemary twigs...the rosemary is from our yard...let it cook on high in the crock pot for a few hours...turn it down for a couple more...then add all the veggies you have...I added fresh cabbage, carrots, zucchini and some left over corn and green beans...but add what you have...that's the beauty of it! It's inexpensive, yummy and very filling...not to mention...so easy!

So how is your new year going so far? Mine is nice and quiet...I've been working on some custom orders...one of the orders is for a client all the way over in Switzerland! It's awesome that I got noticed over there too...makes a gal feel pretty special! Not much else happening in my neck of the woods...the wind finally calmed down...for today anyway...and it's a bit warmer too...so I can garden a bit tomorrow...I have many more leaves to rake since the winds came and left...
Until next time...enjoy your day!!!
