Mom gave us many things, and among them was a love of cooking and an entire file cabinet full of recipes. There's one thing that we can do every day to keep her in our hearts. (and in our stomachs) Use her recipes on a regular basis! I know we all make Scotcheroos, and other favorites, but there are SO MANY good ones. I'm going to test some of them, make notes, and share them with you on my blog. And Heidi and Pam are helping! (See the notes to determine who tested the recipe)

Oriental Chicken Vegetable Soup

1/4 c diagionally sliced green onions
1/2 c diagionally sliced celery
1/4 t ground ginger
1 T butter
1 can chicken noodle soup
1 can chicken with rice soup
2 soup cans water
1 1/2 c cubed, cooked chicken
1 10 oz. package frozen mixed vegetables
4 t soy sauce
1/4 t salt
Generous dash pepper

In a large saucepan, cook onions and celery with ginger in butter until tender. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer 10 minutes or until done. Stir often. Makes 7 1/2 cups.


Pam thought this was very good. It was quick and easy to make! I added another can of chicken noodle soup since I had a 12 oz. bag of vegies, and 2 cups of chicken, and it seemed a little thick. I didn't add the salt- there's enough in the soup!

Golden Cream Soup

3 C. chopped potatos
1 C. water
1/2 C. chopped celery
1/2 C. carrot slices
1/4 C. chopped onion
1 t. parsley flakes
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 t. salt dash of pepper
1 1/2 C. milk
2 T. flour
1/2 lb Velveeta, cubed
In large saucepan, combine potatoes, water, carrots, onion, parsley, and bouillon cubes and seasonings. Mix well. Cover. Simmer 15-20 minutes or until vegies are tender. Gradually add milk to flour, mixing until well blended. Add milk to vegies. Cook until thickened. Add cheese and stir until blended. Serves 6-8.

Pam's tips- double or triple the milk, not the flour. It was very thick and not soup-like. I'd also use corn starch as a thickener. I could taste the flour. This might serve 6 if it's a bit thinner. It had really good flavor!
