Soup Time
Whenever we get the season's first snow, I get the urge to make soup. We've had a few tiny flakes occasionally over the last few days but today we had some nice big flakes and enough of them so that it has covered the grass in our yard.
I like snow even though I really don't like cold weather. Let me rephrase that, I like snow as long as it doesn't mean school will be cancelled.
Where was I? Oh, yeah, soup...
Vegetable Soup
1 large can vegetable juice (Spicy V-8 would have been good but I didn't have any on hand so I added a few shakes of hot sauce.)
sliced carrots
a few potatoes, peeled and cubed
sliced celery
sausage, cooked
water
I just put everything into the saucepan and cooked it until the vegetables were tender.
Now it's just sitting on the stove, keeping warm until my husband gets home from work.
