Broccoli Cheese Soup

I love this Broccoli Cheese Soup, and I like that it does not include Velveeta. Broccoli and cheese is a great soup and a deli classic but this homemade version is just as good.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Steaming the broccoli first preserves the bright green of the broccoli and makes it look so much more appetizing than the gray-green color it fades to after extended cooking.

Southern Fried Chicken Gizzards

These Southern Fried Chicken Gizzards are not tough! If you’ve tried fried chicken gizzards before and found them tough you really need to try this method!

 

The initial stewing makes these gizzards melt-in-your-mouth tender and yields a very flavorful chicken stock for other uses.

Once they’re stewed nice and tender they are fried up nice and crispy.

Bavarian Pork Tenderloin Stew

This Bavarian Pork Tenderloin Stew is so quick, tasty and easy to do on the stove that even you won’t believe it. The German in me loves the flavors.

Pork tenderloins are one of my favorites and this recipe is exceptionally good. There are so many different layers to the flavors.

It’s my go-to every year for the last couple years when it gets cold. My family absolutely loves it!

It’s great the day you make but even better the next day as most stews are.

I like to serve it over noodles with a hearty German rye bread. Reminds you of fall and Oktober fest!

Bacon Potato Chowder

This Bacon Potato Chowder is an excellent! Hearty enough for a soup only meal main dish along with a salad. Excellent flavor, easy to make and very filling. It’s also very budget-friendly.

Bacon Potato Chowder

It’s hard for me to think of chowder without seafood coming to mind. Seafood chowder, clam chowder, lobster chowder, etc…

These are all dishes popular in the New England area and they are delicious! However you don’t have to have seafood to make a chowder.

This Bacon Potato Chowder is a basic chowder and it’s ingredients would be included in any respectable New England seafood chowder. Bacon and potatoes!

It’s exceedingly satisfying, and needs no seafood or shellfish to justify its existence. Plus it’s extremely budget friendly!

For best results, buy a good, very smokey bacon from a butcher shop.

For the Soup

  2. Drop the meatballs in the soup (Make sure the soup is slightly boiling, the meatballs need to be cooked quickly). Return to simmer and cook another 10 minutes.

You could top the soup with cooked rice, or just have it by itself.
