Dear Folks, I guess I'm on a roll here but don't stop me. For the past few days I knew I would shortly be out of my homemade soup and that I would need to cook up another pot of soup because that's my lunch preference. Well as I get older I get lazier. I no longer simmer the ingredients for a pungent soup stock and then turn to Julia Childs for inspiration for what a prize-winning soup I can make of it which may include adding truffles and escargots or whatever Martha Stewart might have also suggested, but since I tend to go for just the basics of it now, I assessed the canned goods in my pantry, knew that I had onions in my refrigerator and by hook or by crook I could combine all of them as long as I had a pound of hamburger. And by George, this afternoon I got started. I first fried up the hamburger to where it was no longer pink and while it was cooking I chopped up two LARGE onions (I love onions), dropped them into the pot and let them simmer along with the hamburger and then started to open the cans from my pantry. There was the one can of diced tomotoes, the one small can of tomato sauce, one can of kidney beans and one can of Chili style kidney beans which frankly didn't taste any different to me than the regular kidney beans. I rinsed out all of the cans, added the liquid to the pot and started to add some spices. First a bit of salt, then some garlic powder, then some basil and oregano and then for a bit of panache, some chili powder Frankly, I barely had a clue what I was doing but the more the soup pot simmered, the more delicious it smelled. If you ever want my recipe for such a delightfully smelling soup just copy the above. It's all stored in my refrigerator this evening and I have no doubt that I will delight in it over the next week or ten days as my very own lucheon special.
