Vegetable Beef Soup
"I love a good vegetable beef soup, but I'm not a big fan of soup that is predominantly tomato sauce so I came up with my own recipe. My brother does not like most vegetable soups, but loves this version. This would definitely fall into the "OAMC" category. You can easily cut the recipe in half"

A delicious soup and oh, so satisfying on a cold winter night. I did halve the recipe and substituted potatoes for the turnips and left out the lima beans and plopped in a few peas instead. Otherwise, I followed your recipe exactly. Served with crusty French Bread and a cherry pie for dessert. Thank you!

Living in the south we are very lucky to have an abundance of fresh seafood and other ingredients at our disposal when trying new recipes. My husband and I both love to cook and have learned a lot about cooking from our native Louisianian, Paul Prudhomme (we learned to be very careful with his recipes as they are very spicy - even for us), native New Orleanian, Frank Davis and transplanted Emeril Lagasse. It would be very difficult to pick an all time favorite cookbook since I have approximately 200. I enjoy collecting local cookbooks as well as others from different areas. This picture is obviously when DH and I got married. I cooked all the food and even made my wedding cake.
