Okay who isn’t tired of this arctic freeze already?! I know I am. I’ve been dreaming of gardening and doing yard work and that is how I know that winter has taken its tole on me. Seriously, ask me in July about how much I “love” to mow the grass. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Being stuck in the house trying to keep warm I always want hearty food.<\/p>\n

My dad brought this recipe home from work while I was growing up. \u00a0His buddy at work had it for lunch one day and gave some to my dad. \u00a0My dad raved about it and the man’s wife sent him the recipe for my mom. \u00a0My mom made it a few times and everyone loved it. \u00a0She made it again this past summer for the first time in years when my sister came into town for a visit. I had completely forgotten about it. When I visited with my sister at my mom and dad’s, \u00a0my mom sent some home for Brandon’s dinner and he really liked it. I didn’t have any then but made it a couple months later because he liked it so much and it is now on the rotation of soups I make!<\/p>\n

My mom told me it was too many steps so she quit making it. \u00a0Well, it is worth it. \u00a0Here is the recipe. The original my mom gave me didn’t have quantities, just descriptions like “dishes of paprika until a nice color” for the ingredients so with a little trial and error this is what I have come up with. I tweaked it a bit. I \u00a0added the beef broth (the original used just water) and I used way less butter….<\/p>\n

The only thing to add to make it stupendous is some really good bread! \u00a0A nice French bread with a nice crust use to dip into the soup! \u00a0Give it a try, it’s yummy!!!<\/p>\n
