Dinner's Ready [EDIT]
Made a big ol' stock pot full of spicy, garlicy chicken vegetable soup this morning.
The kitchen is smelling really good right now!
Grabbed a crusty stone ground whole wheat baguette at the deli yesterday. I'm done!
Now I've got the whole rest of the day to goof off.
Beer thirty will be coming early today!
*EDIT*
I've been asked for the soup recipe, so here goes!
2 chicken breasts and 4 thighs (with skin on)simmered in 3 qts.water along with 1 lg chopped onion, 3 cloves of garlic, small can of tomato sauce, salt and pepper for about an hour and a half.
Remove chicken from stock to cool. Add 1/2 large head of coarsly chopped cabbage and simmer til almost tender. Strip meat from chicken and tear into bite size pieces, I like mine chunky, and return to pot. Add veggies, I used carrots, potatoes, corn, green beans, lima beans, a cup or so of each. Add more salt and pepper to taste, and a generous amount of your favorite hot sauce. I use about a 1/4 cup of Texas Pete or more! Add one more small can of tomato sauce here if you think it needs it.
When the veggies are tender, add a cup and a half of egg noodles and cook another 20 or 30 minutes. Again check the seasonings, add more salt and pepper if needed. Add additional water or chicken stock or broth, if needed. The noodles absorbe quite a bit.
Done!
Enjoy!

Looks and sound delicious.
YUMMO! I love soup all year round! Think I"m way too late tho' to get a bowl of this! You probably already ate it all! Dang!
Hope you had a good weekend! Hugs!
This looks yummy enough to swim in! You can bet I'll be making this . . . we LOVE soups. And I promise . .. we'll only eat it!
@buddly47 - @angi1972 - Buddly Crocker...you are so funny, that comment just made me laugh outloud, can't have Ang drooling in the soup pot! You know ,that beard is a drool catcher though.
Yummm, but I think I missed dinner, didn't hear the bell. Looks great and thanks for adding the recipe, will definately be trying that one on a cool wet fall day.
@buddly47 - you're kind.lol he's pretty odd.
Thank you very much I got it. No real measurements needed. I cook much like you just get it going and season as you go. I have my Mom's old iron skillet. Well seasoned just as yours.
@buddly47 - lol really?? I've tried them once, like little cabbages no?
@MomGoneMadd - I feel the same way about Brussel sprouts!
@angi1972 - Would you please not lean over the pot then?
@tialoca_talks - Yummm. That'd work for me too!
The Lima beans killed it for me... But I will pick them out, place them on a napkin and scoot them over to sister for her to eat like I did when I was a kid...
Looks GOOD!
MMM... *drooling* (again)
pretty good recipe...i think i'd throw one can of enchilada sauce in for one of the tomato sauces and crumble dorito chips over it....
@seedsower - @jeanmarie26 - I do make a mean cornbread, but I didn't make any yesterday. That old iron skillet belonged to my grandmother, and I use it a lot! Don't really have a recipe, just make it as I go along. But, let's see.
2 chicken breasts and 4 thighs (with skin on)simmered in 3 qts.water along with 1 lg chopped onion, 3 cloves of garlic, small can of tomato sauce, salt and pepper for about an hour and a half.

@buddly47 - Always better once those flavors "marry" up. Enjoy!
@Jillycarmel - I know quite a few people like that! So, I guess he's not so weird?
@tialoca_talks - @angi1972 - @storyslut - @Danth - @Jaynebug @fauquet - - It was good, trust me! I think I'm going to heat it up again tonight. Should be better the second day!
Recipe please............ looks so good. Was you thinking of making corn bread in that iron skillet? When I see an iron skillet in a kitchen I know something delicious is going to come out of that kitchen.
Of course I cannot smell but the content of this huge marmite look exciting .
You have enough for a few days !
In friendship

@buddly47 - Here too, considering we don't live that far apart, haha...since I'm not feeling well my Momma has some on the stove, I'm excited!
my hubby likes chili but otherwise he doesn't like his foods to touch-I know-weird.
Looks Fantastic!
