Great and Quick Cold Weather Soup Recipe
I came across this recipe and then decided to make it turned out great although I did modify a little, instead of rotel I used fresh tomatoes I had and used S&W Chili Beans that had garlic, onion and chili in them. And I threw in a few more veggies when sauteing the onions, I had peppers and celery in there too. Here is the recipe I hope you try it and enjoy!
Willy Strange's Good Soup
Several years ago, our church congregation did a community service project and cleaned up an overgrown cemetary in Rockwall , Texas
Ingredients:
- 2 cans Campbell's Minestrone soup
- 1 can Ranch Style beans *
- 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes (Mild or hot - you choose) *
- 2 cans water
- ¼ cup catsup
- 1 lb. hamburger
- 1 small diced onion
- * Rotel and Ranch Style are brand name products of ConAgra Foods. Their web site has a search feature to help you find a retailer near you that carries these two products. It's worth your time to find them.
Preparation:
Sauté the diced onion in a dutch oven. Add the hamburger and brown. Drain off the excess fat. Add the remaining ingredients, heat and serve.
We sometimes add an additional can of tomato soup with an additional ¾ can of water. You can control the spiciness of the soup by using the spicy Rotel tomatoes.

Our new SBO!
Last Friday Corky was voted Freshman Vice President at OHSU, and they are planning big time first thing they will be doing is a school trip to Lagoon for Frightmares! There is a great deal that I will post as to how you can help OHSU raise funds just by going to Frightmares, a portion of your ticket price goes to the school. But they are planning a night when they can all meet in person. As far as I can tell they are very anxious to have this. I will be adding a few links for that. We are all excited yeah Corky!

Here is where I am going to Share those moments that just come whether it be night or day and we take the time to seize every opportunity-
Just a quick chuckle; I was putting my sons down for the night and little Bogan asked for another drink of water, and I said no you have already had a large glass and used the bathroom-he said oh yeah-so I chuckled and said haha your plans to stay awake have been foiled, and he said yeah Mom you folded my plans.
The other night my boys were playing with their legos and when I walked by, PT had made a pyramid and asked me where the little guy was that he had, I said I don't know? And then he showed me he had hidden it under the pyramid-I thought and then grabbed that moment- I went and got out the history book and opened up to the ancient Egypt era when pyramids were built and why it was similar to what he did. He was amazed at the significance. We read and read and learned about them for 2 days.
