Dads Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place beans in a large pot; cover with 2 inches water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 to 2 hours. Drain and rinse. Transfer beans to another container.
• Combine ham bone and 8 cups water in a large saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until remaining meat falls off the bone, about 2 hours. Remove and discard bone. Use a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a bowl.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add celery and onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Add cooked ham bone meat, lima beans, and diced ham. Reduce heat and simmer, adding additional water as needed, until soup is thickened to desired consistency, about 90 minutes.
• Stir carrots, salt, pepper, and parsley into the soup. Let simmer until carrots are soft, about 30 minutes more.

Steps:

• Using a very large pot that will hold at least 12qts, preferable more, brown the beef in the olive oil.
• Peel and dice onions and carrots. Dice potatoes, peeling if you prefer.
• Put everything except the barley and cabbage into the pot. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring several times.
• Use a knife to shred the cabbage finely in strips as if for sauerkraut.
• Add cabbage and barley. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring several times.
• Serve with hearty, crusty bread.
• Note: If you have some odds and ends of cooked, unseasoned veggies hanging around in the fridge you can add them along with the cabbage and barley. Don't overdo broccoli or other cabbage-family veggies because some cabbage is necessary too much upsets the balance of flavors.
• Note: You can readily substitute fresh vegetables for frozen. I just use frozen because I usually make it in the winter when fresh veggies are not cost-effective.
• Note: Freezes well and is even better after sitting overnight.

Steps:

• In 6- or 8-quart pan, melt butter on medium-low heat with onions. After onions are translucent, add garlic and rosemary for 2 minutes.
• Add sausage and cook another 2 or 3 minutes. Add potatoes and cover potatoes with water. Change heat to high and bring potatoes to a boil.
• After potatoes become very tender, to the point of falling apart, reduce heat to low and add cheese a little at a time until all melted. Add milk, salt, and pepper and cover for 15 minutes.
• Great with saltine crackers.
