And, the winner...is......

Hi, ya'll...

Do you eat soup in the hot summertime ?

We don't, too often, but every now and then, even in hot weather,
I crave a good
 VEGETABLE SOUP


 So, when we got hungry for soup this week,
I used a package of frozen ITALIAN VEGGIES.


added a can of ROTEL TOMATOES...
beef stock...
salt, pepper and spices.





I don't know about ya'll but we HAVE to have
CORNBREAD.

That's SOUTHERN
CORNBREAD...

NO sugar...

but Sour Cream along with the other ingredients that make a good Southern Cornbread.


And, I don't know about ya'll, but WE have to have
fresh GREEN ONIONS
when we have cornbread....
Is it just a southern thang ???


Oh, and fresh PECOS,TEXAS 
CANTALOUPE .

Pecos, Texas grows the sweetest and juiciest  cantaloupes on this planet.
Yes, ma'am !!

Just a good, old country dinner.

  5. Good morning bj, Don't faint I am back and trying to catch up with my dearest blogging friends. I have missed you so much. I have been back for about a month but there was so much going on with grands etc. I haven't had time to visit. Finally a Pink Saturday that is quiet without company. I thought! Our daughter who lives about 3 hours away just called and is coming for the weekend. We are thrilled of course.

    We LOVE soup and yours looks delicious. We do eat a lot of soup in the winter. My cornbread has sugar in it like the Yankee way. We call it Johnny cake. My parents were Yankees but they raised us in the South. We also drink unsweet tea to the horror of many of our friends. HA! However, I do like the Southern way of making cornbread as well. Sour cream added sounds so good.

    It is so great to be saying hello this morning.
    Love,
    Jeanne

  15. I am craving cantaloupe and any other fruit...

    Congrats to your winner Lynne!

  16. Lynne, congratulations! And, BJ, thank you for hosting this giveaway (even though I didn't win!). That's a lovely lunch. When a cantaloupe is so sweet and perfect, you don't need any other dessert.

  17. I'm not much of a soup person

  18. Hello bj! Yes, we do enjoy soup in the good ole hot summertime. It might be strange but probably since I grew up dirt poor soup was a good way to feed a large family summer or not and I didn't make the distinction that soup was for a particular time of year. Your soup and extras along with it would suit my fancy. Have a great weekend.

  19. We love homemade soups and stews here too bj. Usually I make vegetable soup once every summer with fresh veggies. Love the cornbread too and melons are a favorite always. Your soup is giving me an answer to the age old question “what’s for dinner”. Congratulations to Lynn for winning the gorgeous sign!

  20. How nice it would be to have a really good cantaloupe. Soup and cornbread, something I love together.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Big congrats to Lynn!
    I'm a real 'seasonal eater', too, Seems soups and stews n' chili taste lots better after that first sweet COLD snap. That said, we just tried the new Rudy's Texas BBQ - and couldn't resist the green chili stew w/ Rotel tomatoes! I was sure surprised they didn't offer cornbread. (Well, that and fried okra ... another subject for another day!)

  22. Yes we do enjoy soup in the summer, but I make homemade cold soups. Like sweet peas with mint and creme Fraîche or watercress and one of my favorites gazpacho ... seriously though anytime is a great time to enjoy soup ;-) I love crab bisque in the summer with French sherry and cream. Gosh now you got me going... I love soup!
    Congrats to Lynn for her win.

  23. Your soup looks so good bj ... summer time or not ... nothing better with soup than cornbread. I need to make some like you do ... not sweet like Jiffy, but we love the ease of boxed Jiffy. Looking forward to some Pecos cantaloupe. So happy for Lynn that she won the nice sign.
    Blessings,
    Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures

  25. It's so funny you say that...I'm heading to the grocery store this morning to buy stuff to make chili. Even though you're not "supposed to" eat chili in hot weather, I miss it!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
