Best soup in 8 years!

There hasn't been very many times in my marriage that I have made some kinda of soup other than chili. Chicken Noodle...maybe twice, French Onion...once, Broccoli Cheese...once...but that is pretty much it.

After a co-worker made Stuffed Green Pepper soup for a potluck in October, I really wanted to see if it was something I could make. The critics, my husband and son, cleaned their bowls and Josh said "that is the best soup you've ever made". SCORE!!!

1lb ground beef
1 large green pepper, diced
1 cup onion, diced or minced
3 cans tomato soup
2 cans beef broth
2 cups cooked white rice
few splashs of Worcestershire
few splashs of soy sauce
pepper to taste

Cook ground beef in a large pot. Do not drain. When meat is almost done browning, add green peppers and onions. Cook for 5-7mins or until veggies are almost tender. Add soup, broth and spices. Add rice at the very end. Heat throughly and serve!

This is a hearty soup and was perfect for a day where the snow is falling...like today! It made TONS, way more than enough for our family of 3. Plenty for lunches.
Hope you will try it and enjoy it too. Nite all :)

This is me...

Well, who knows how this will go but I'm gonna give it a try.

I have been inspired by many people who manage a blog of their own to create a page with my crafts, thoughts, ideas, recipes, scrapbook layouts, great finds, etc.


So here is my first post. I am a wife of almost 8 years to my wonderful husband who is my rock and best friend. God made us the perfect match and we work wonderfully as a team in our everyday endeavours. We are parents to awesome little boy who keeps us busy at the age of 3. We are so very grateful for the lessons our parents taught us since we have already put a lot of them into play. My husband and I find family SUPER important. God first, family second, then comes church, work, etc.
I hope you enjoy this blog or atleast find it useful in creating some gifts or memories for you and your family.
God bless,
Amy
