This is a great soup! I adapted the recipe to include more veggies and I left out the rice. I was going to add in some barley, but my pot was too full! But honestly I don’t think anyone missed it. Everyone went back for seconds, and I was glad I’d made enough that we’dRead more
This is an old family recipe. My mom’s grandma would make this every spring just as the green beans came up in the garden. It’s a great, easy recipe that’s total comfort food. I actually made this using a frozen ham hock that we saved from Easter. You can also just buy a ham hockRead more
