Very Very good, I let the scape brown a little that gave the soup a nice roasted taste, and i used superior touch "Better Than Bouillon", which worked out great and i did not have to add salt. It gave the soup a wonderful richness. I will have to take a trip to the farm and get some more scape!!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
