  • Hamburger Soup

    A friend made this for one of our annual soup and bun suppers.

  • Dutch Meatball Soup

    Soups with this flavour are called "Beppe's Soup" by the Bakker clan.  Pake usually makes really small meatballs.  The delicious flavour is a combination of the Dutch meatball spice and the Honing brand Spring Vegetable Soup mix.  Maggi is also used to flavour it.  My version is a little different from Beppe's but it is the same basic taste.

  • Creamy Potato Soup

    The grade 6 class makes this as part of their unit on pioneers.  Then they usually make biscuits with it.  At college Jonathan and Dawn both had roommates from Prince Edward Island (potato country), so they have had this at college as well.

  • Chilli

    This recipe freezes well.

  • Chicken Soup

    Our RCYF (young people) has an annual soup and pie supper.  We serve vegetable soup, pea soup, chilli, chicken soup, creamed chicken taverns and potluck pies.  I like the chicken soup recipe and make half a recipe (omitting Lipton soup) often for our family.  I use whatever broth forms while cooking the chicken.

  • Beef Stew

    The past couple of years I have made this quite often.  I usually include all of these ingredients, amounts may vary. I like to savour the smell so I often let it simmer for hours.  Freeze the extra for a future busy time, or bring some to a neighbour or friend.  This has to be nutritious!

  • Lentil Soup

    Mel and I make this soup quite often. We wanted a lentil soup and Mel came across an Alton Brown recipe that sounded fairly quick but delicious. We've modified it in a few spots in order to fix it into words but we've only really followed the recipe once. Its a good guide though. I like smelling each spice separately for a few moments before mixing all the spices together in a little bowl. Smell the resulting concoction before adding it to the soup.

  • Chicken and Almond Casserole

    We had this at the bridal shower I attended in MI.  It was delicious.  Just wanted to pass it along.  I remember Dave's Aunt Cindy saying something about a special kind of almond she used (Spanish Marcona almonds).  I have no idea where you would find them.  I'll probably try regular almonds first!
