Slow-Cooker Sausage and Succotash Soup with Collards

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 08 Apr 2017 00:22:41 +0000

Slow-Cooker Sausage and Succotash Soup with Collards features so many of my favorite things all rolled up into a bowl of soup: smoked sausage, collards, succotash, plus a lot of aromatics. And a delicious bowl of soup it is, indeed. Succotash (corn and butterbeans) is one of my favorite vegetable sides. There’s a raging debate that...

Black-Eyed Pea and Tortelloni Soup

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 19 Mar 2017 17:40:20 +0000

Blackeyed Pea and Tortelloni Soup. Chocked full of savory vegetables, blackeye peas and tortelloni filled with ricotta cheese and spinach. Few dishes have a more Southern ring than black-eyed peas and greens. Both are part of our traditional New Year’s Day menu. With inspiration from those iconic dishes, I’ve come up with a little rift...

Beef and Pepper Soup

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 20:56:47 +0000

Beef and Pepper Soup is beef, bell peppers, lots of vegetables, aromatics and Basmati rice. A hardy and comforting soup. There are but a few things certain in this world. Of course, there’s the well-known cliché about death and taxes, but, something even more certain is that if you cook, you will have mistakes and...

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with Crab

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 31 Oct 2016 21:45:44 +0000

Campbell Soup Company influenced the lunchtime memories of an entire generation. Alphabet soup, chicken noodle soup, tomato soup. We ate them and loved them. Mmm, mmmm, good. Tomato Soup is still one of my favorites. I updated the tomato soup I knew as a child and came up with Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with...

Italian Sausage and Vegetable Soup

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 18:00:35 +0000

The inspiration for what I cook comes from all sorts of places. Sometimes, a favorite food memory comes flooding forth. At times I have requests from others for favorite dishes. Frequently, I have a particular objective to meet for an article or a recipe for my cookbook that drives the main ingredient for a dish....

Granny’s Beef Soup

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 23:04:07 +0000

Celebrate Your Tradition is a promotion hosted by Tuttorosso. After learning the idea of the promotion is to celebrate and honor someone who inspired you in the kitchen, I wanted to participate. Opportunities to share the story of my grandmother and all she taught me about life, food and the connections between the two, are precious....

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:00:50 +0000

Broccoli Cheese Soup is a great recipe for using up bits of left over cheese. Any type of hard and semi-hard cheese that’s meltable can be used. While I rave about how good school lunches were back in the day when the lunchroom ladies actually cooked, they had epic fails with broccoli. I don’t know why...

Comfort (Recipe:Homemade Tomato Soup and Herb Cheese Biscuit Croutons)

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:31:48 +0000

I keep my pantry stocked with quality canned tomato products. If fact, tomatoes are one of the few canned vegetables I use on a regular basis. Sam needs to watch his sodium intake so that makes frozen or fresh a better choice for his health. When I cook with tomatoes as an ingredient, I will...

A Good Neighbor(Recipe: Country Potato Bacon Soup)

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:49:17 +0000

I found some Yukon gold potatoes in my potato basket that needed cooking. The amount of potatoes in this recipe magically equals the amount of potatoes I was left with after peeling and removing bad pieces from the potatoes that were just found in the basket. Granny’s potato soup is my inspiration. She made potato...

Roasted Carrot Soup

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:26:17 +0000

Roasted Carrot Soup is made from roasted carrots , onions, and potatoes added to stock and seasonings in a pureed soup. If I knew how to get in touch with Bugs Bunny, he would get an invitation to dinner. And, if I got in touch with Bugs, extended the invitation, and he accepted, I would...

Letter Thoup (Recipe: Turkey Alphabet Soup)

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 13:45:43 +0000

On an average day, letters and numbers floating around in your soup bring warmth and goodness that brighten that average day and make it above average. We don’t need to aim for royal superlatives everyday such as best ever or most exciting, Above average is just fine. Actually, average is not so bad itself. ...

Slow-cooker Navy Bean Soup

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 17:48:30 +0000

Ham bones and dried beans cry out for each other in the night. They have a natural affinity and love it when they can get together. You can throw all types of dried beans in a pot with a ham bone and wind up with deliciousness. You really don’t need to add much of anything except...

Blackeye Pea and Collard Green Soup

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 17:59:13 +0000

If pressed to pick a favorite food category, my answer would be soups. Even given my affinity to all things sugary sweet, soups would win over desserts. A person can live on soups. I suppose a person can live off desserts, too, but a gut rebellion is surely inevitable along with the associated clothes rebellion causing...

School Lunchroom Hamburger Soup

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 00:29:33 +0000

The idea of school lunches evokes a pleasant thought for me. I grew up in the era of real lunchroom ladies who cooked meals from scratch. They arrived at school before the chickens were up and started cooking. Wonderful aromas wafted throughout the school letting your lucky nose and sense of smell give clues about...

French Onion Soup

Today is my mother’s birthday. It’s the fourth year in a row that I haven’t mailed her a birthday card, sent her roses, called her on the telephone or wondered how she was spending her day. It’s been four years since she passed away. Significant days like birthdays and holidays are often very sad after...

Graduation Day! (Recipe: Graduation Party Menu)

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 11 May 2012 11:19:07 +0000

We did it! We graduated the last of our chickens from college. I’m not literally speaking of chickens. I’m talking about “chilluns” or “churrins” or “young ‘uns”. The last one. We’ll be empty nesters as soon as that whole job thing kicks in. Congratulations, Tyler! I planned a menu for the graduation party that could...

A Close Second (Recipe: Slow-cooker Split Pea Soup)

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 03 May 2012 22:51:14 +0000

As with most Southerners, I have been eating peas and butterbeans all my life. We wait all year for them “to come in”. The food that Southerners call peas are a summer crop and are distinctly different from the English pea or garden pea variety. Since my history with this Southern delicacy is long, I...

Old Fashioned Brunswick Stew

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:25:28 +0000

Soups and stews are an all time favorite. They represent a maximum degree of efficiency in cooking, variety, cost effectiveness and creativity, which makes them just plain smart cooking. A generous bonus is found in the magnificent flavor. They may be rustic or fancy, simple or complicated; although I must question the soundness of making them complicated. A...

Several Gooseberry Patch cookbooks have taken their place among my cookbook collection. My traditional Christmas morning...
