Baby it’s cold out side and the soup is steeping in the pot.

I used to post occasional recipes in the second-half of my previous wine writing career, 2007-2017. Most, but not all, of those recipes were wine relatedI stumbled accross a good one a few weeks ago and finally made it today. There is more than a good chance you have most of these ingredients in the kitchen already.

How about a little Hambuger/Macaroni soup?

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoon minced garlic (I used powder)
4 14.5-oz cans of beef broth
2 28-oz cans of diced tomatoes
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cups dry macaroni
Garlic salt and pepper to taste
Cheddar cheese (optional)

Preparation

In large sauepan, add ground beef, garlic and onion
Cook until the beef is browned, drain fat
Add broth, canned tomatoes, Worcestershie sauce, brown sugar, ketchup and Italian seasonings
Add the dry macaroni
Cook for 15 minutes
Garnish with cheddar cheesse, if desired

It’s like meatloaf and mashed potatoes, simple and comforting. I made a bunch to freeze for quick easy meals. One note, be sure to have plenty of beef broth – the macaroni really soaks it up duing the 15 minute cook. And I use salt-free broths – a cleaner taste. It’s easy to over-salt. It’s simply yummy.

(Update 01/3/21) ) Now that I’ve made the soup, I’d back off a little on the macaroni and use perhaps a pound-and-a-half or maybe even two pounds of ground beef.

It’s soup kids, dig in!

Garcia‘s hotdogs at the corner of 16th and Emerson are just freaking fabulous. He tells me today he’s been selling hotdogs and Indy for 33 years! If you like a good hotdog or bratwurst with all the trimmings yeah gotta make it over most weekdays over the new hour

A grilled NY strip with Cain NV 17. ….  the Cain wine  is a non vintage blend of 2016 and 2017 Merlot and Cabernet. Smooth and even soft with full Napa flavor. Definitely something different and satisfying.   I’d call it a good value for $36 — def in the softer side but big enough finish to pair well with the grilled steak.
A brand-new farmers market kicked off this morning on the east side. The market is sponsored by the group that runs the annual winter‘s farmers market. Small turn out maybe 20 vendors but has a great potential hope folks get out next week and support them. The market sits in a parking lot beside the Boner center

My Summer With Lymphoma: Lymphoma, My Stem Cell Transplant

Good news on cancer and eyes

I have failed miserably at keeping ‘the cancer blog’ updated – and that’s a good thing, I suppose. I have now been “clean” since my April autologous stem cell transplant. I had a PET scan in June and a CT scan this week (Sept. 11) and both showed negative results. My oncologist was very pleased […]

Decisions, Decisions – Job & Health issues

  It’s been two weeks since my last update, one week-plus since I dropped one of my three antibiotics, and 97 days since my stem cell transplant for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.   So there are a few things to update and a few thoughts to share. Let’s start with the cancer. My team of oncologists at […]
