Corned Beef And Cabbage Soup Recipe For Two

Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup Recipe for two.  

I had a small piece of corned beef leftover and started with that for my delicious homemade original soup recipe that turned out to be very hearty and is quite pleasing to the palate. 

  • It is a Fast and Easy Soup Recipe
  • St. Patrick’s Day is on its way and there will be some corned beef and cabbage leftovers to be used up.
  • Proportions can be adjusted according to how many you will be serving.
  • It is quick as a wink to make, it takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.  

  • 1 Cup diced potatoes, quickly cooked in the microwave and then tossed in the pot.
  • 1 1/2 Cups water
  • 1 1/2 Cups chopped cabbage
  • 2 Oz. Corned beef
  • 1/4 Cup diced celery
  • 1 Teaspoon Beef Better Than Bullion.  May use prepared broth instead.
  • 1/4 Cup Sour Cream

  • Season to your own taste.  I personally use salt, pepper, and a dash each of Italian seasoning and garlic powder.

  • Served with a hearty bread and plenty of butter.
    My only regret is that I did not make more of this simple and yummy soup the first time I made it. 
  • Many soups are even better as the leftovers for tomorrow.

I have been baking fruit cakes for several years and working on perfecting my own original recipe.


My Rum Fruit Cake Recipe is wonderful to make several batches of, because friends and family will love getting some yummy good moist fruit cake as gift at Christmas time, or all year through foe those specials dates and holidays.

I love getting extra candied cherries and pineapple for decorating the tops of the fruits cakes so they they look festive, and even  more temping to eat.  Family and friends wait all year to get their Rum Soaked Fruit Cakes for the holiday season.

Tomato Juice Recipe Ideas

I discovered that I love fresh tomato juice recipes made from fresh garden tomatoes, and made it in the blender.

Well, today I had a bowl of fresh Roma Tomatoes  and decided to try making tomato juice with my Cuisinart Smart Stick Blender.  I decided to make the juice using my malt cup which will make 16 Oz at a time in less than a minute per filled malt cup.

Clean up was a breeze using the Stick Blender for recipe ideas.  I know about juicers and had one in the past but do not feel a need to invest in another one.




I like thick tomato juice and do enjoy it when it has a little chew to it.  I discovered that when using Roma tomatoes that the juice is so thick that it does not separate and is yummy delicious with nothing added to the tomatoes.

However, the thickness may not be what you want, so water can be added to thin down the juice.

I do not add any salt, but have tried various seasonings like garlic powder and  Mrs. Dash.

Sometimes I add a splash of either dill or sweet pickle juice, olive juice, sauerkraut juice and I also enjoy jalapeƱo pepper juice.  I just add a splash or two for my taste, but you can measure if  you want. I encourage you to have fun and experiment with different tasty tomato juice recipes.



Another way I like tomatoes is as a slightly frozen Slush. That is so refreshing on a hot day!

Chef Salad Recipe

Today I came in from the garden with my mouth watering for Chef Salad and had gathered some fresh ingredients.  The orange "cherry" tomatoes will be the star with a supporting cast including garden fresh green pepper and red leaf lettuce.

The orange tomatoes are a favorite that I have been waiting for because of their special, almost sweet taste.  They are also a little bit less acidic than regular red tomatoes.




Chef Salad Recipes can vary according to taste and I felt like going a lighter route on a warm day.  I used just one meat and just a little grated cheese to top it off.  I put the ingredients together according to what I feel for at the time and what I have on hand.  Usually, if you order a Chef Salad in a restaurant, you'll get both turkey and ham and two kinds of cheese…..feel free to make it your way!


Ingredients:

Orange Tomatoes today but usually I use red ones.
Red Leaf Lettuce
Green Pepper
Sweet Onion
Hard Boiled Eggs either sliced or diced
Ham, about 2 Oz diced for each serving.
Cauliflower Florets, 1 separated for each serving
Grated Lacy Swiss Cheese
Choice of Salad Dressings

Directions:
Layer ingredients how ever you want to or you can place each ingredient separately in its own section of your salad plate.  Serve with an assortment of dressings, and maybe some toast or crackers on the side.  I often put sliced olives on top but today I am serving a pickle and olive plate on the side.  All that is left is to simply enjoy!

Balsamic Basil Tomato Slices With Feta Cheese


                       Garden Fresh Balsamic Basil Tomato Slices With Feta Cheese

I often enjoy dressing up tomatoes for a side dish that is always sure to please with no leftovers ever.  I had something similar on a buffet, but created my own version that is so simple and delicious that I would like to share it for others to enjoy.  

I used Roma tomatoes but you can use any tomato type you enjoy that holds together well.  This takes just minutes to prepare and enjoy the array of aromas. 

  • Slice tomatoes and lay out on a plate or platter.
  • Crumble or slice Feta Cheese and place on top of tomato slices. 
  • Chop fresh Basil and place on top of tomatoes and cheese.  (or Freeze dried Basil)
  • Spritz or drizzle the dressed up tomato slices with Balsamic Vinegar.
  • Serve chilled
