Who doesn’t enjoy coming home on a cold winter evening to a warm bowl of homemade soup, stew or chili? Served with fresh biscuits, rolls or cornbread, this is a very practical (and delicious) way to stretch your grocery dollars! O hope today’s show encourages you to dig out your soup pot and get a “cozy” dinner cooking today! ~Sandra

These great recipes I mentioned (plus many more) can be found in my new e-book http://momstalkebooks.com/freezer-cooking.htm.

  • Sandra’s Chili

Bring to a boil, and then simmer 10 min.

Bring back up to a boil, add 2 C egg noodles, and cook ‘til noodles are tender.

Add desired amount of milk; heat through.

  2. […] Soup, it feels so good on a cold winter’s day. Admittedly I am not a big soup person, mostly because hubby does not think soup equals a meal. It does not fill him up. It fills me up, if it’s a hearty enough soup and I would have it as a meal and do when I am alone sometimes. Making soup though, this kinda scares me, but I found a few pretty simple recipes thanks to the Family Foodies podcast and I want to try them. Hubby may even go for the potato soup, although not as the only thing we eat for the meal of course. lol […]
