Finally....

....there is some soup in those special bowls!


It was time for Vegetable Soup, and that was a perfect choice to "christen" these pumpkin bowls for the season!

VEGETABLE SOUP
3/4 cup chopped potato
2 cups vegetable, chicken, or beef broth
1 can sliced carrots, drained and rinsed
1 can zucchini with tomato sauce
1 can tomatoes with basil and oregano
- Cook potato in broth until tender, about 15 minutes.  Add other ingredients; heat to a simmer.  
Four generous servings!

You may have seen this recipe from me before - or something similar.  I have often used canned potatoes (which I chop), but this time I used the potatoes we had from the garden.

I am having just a bit of difficulty making it on my blogging rounds, and I hope you will bear with me until I am able to get back to keeping up with you!

China - Vineyard by Noritake, now discontinued
Pumpkin bowls - Williams Sonoma several years ago

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate your comments.

  1. Nellie, Veggie soup is my all time favorite. I have made it with chicken, beef chunks,or even browned ground beef. The prefect fall soup. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  2. Sounds yummy, and very easy! I often open cans of veggies to mix with ground beef or ham for a quick meal. Very good left over, too, if you can keep from eating all of it first! Have a wonderful Wednesday, Sister!

  3. I love veggie soup too. Your soup sound delicious, I'd probably would go for second...
    The pumpkin bowl are welcoming October nicely.

    You have to slow down Nellie. Life is so short and now that you're retired, you can pace yourself. Don't worry about blogging or blog visits.

    It's time to take a look at the SHOULD and the COULD.

    Hugs,

  13. You know I wanted soup so bad today. This sounds wonderful. It is warming up but it is okay, it is just an Indian summer kind of warm up so it is just beautiful. It was the perfect day for the first day of October.
    I hope you have a lovely Thursday tomorrow.

  16. Your soup bowls are gorgeous and appear to be just the right size. I make a hamburger soup that sounds pretty much like your vegetable soup. It's soooooo good, and I love a nice bowl of hot soup in the fall and winter.
