Soups On

Well at least it was on. There is now a copious amount of soup in my freezer. Three full 32 oz containers to be exact. To be honest, I don't even know what to call the soup or even what kind of soup it is exactly. It started with a homemade stock from bacon and beef soup bones. Then I added the ingredients - bean/barley/lentil mixes, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, sausage, beef stew meat, and canned tomatoes. Originally I simply planned on making soup just to rid myself of the bean mixes. However, finding myself getting caught up in soup making madness, the soup came together to be quite good, a huge dutch oven of flavor. The few changes I would make for next time is to use ham hocks instead of bacon (or maybe all beef soup bones) and to take out the stew meat and use all sausage. Though, with all the soup in the freezer right now, it might be awhile before I venture to make another pot of soup.
