Vegetable Garden Soup (tomatoes, peppers, leaves, cold)

[Threerun]

We've had an okay harvest this year. Somethings good, somethings not so good. But one of our favorite soups is a cabbage soup, and this year a lot of the ingredients pretty much are all from the garden.

Cabbage
Onions
Carrots
Tomatoes
Beans
Thyme
Parsley

The chicken stock required is homemade- we make stock out of rotisserie chickens and harvested pheasant and duck.

We only have to use store garlic, celery, red pepper (and we do have some of that), salt and pepper and a few pablanos for spice.

This is a base soup. Very hearty. I have to fire roast the tomatoes and peppers tomorrow. I'm going to make about 8-10 quarts of soup. We can add kielbasa or chicken or even pheasant to the soup when we cook it for dinners for a final meal.

Tomorrow I get crackin' on it.

it looks nice. Do you do a cream soup? As for me I do like veggies cream soups, epecially made of broccoly, carrots, onion and spinach. I also like to add some beans and hot peppers.

My granny made a soup of navy beans and collard green and the whole family loved it .

Gonna be a cool thread to follow. Love homemade soup! Especially during cold patterns.


And I love cabbage.


How do you like warming it up after its frozen? Some reason I don't find it as enjoyable as when its made..

The wife makes a mean potato soup with carrots, peas and a few weed leaves from her spice garden floating around in there. Nice and thick. Such a great treat after spending an hour on the tractor plowing the lane on a cold winter day.

Excited to see the progress on the soup. Can you send me a quart?

Yes indeed I've had something similar for sure. My dad was raised in Whiteville NC- so I was fortunate enough to have savored those dishes.

I think my granddad made collard soup with butter beans and of course- a big stinkin' hamhock in the pot!

Look for Celery Parley seeds; in AL it turned into a knee high celery for us. OK is too hot.
