I Am the Queen of Soup!

Weekend was way too hectic. But, my eating was improved. It went downhill last night, but even that wasn't as bad as its been. And I managed a walk, and good eating the rest of the time. I am feeling less puffy.

So, last week was lentil soup for lunch. This week is a ground beef soup my granddad used to make. He wasn't an expert cook, but once my grandmother's Alzheimer's got bad, he learned to cook so he could eat. :-) I figure soup and a veggie and roll is an excellent lunch, and satisfies my need for warm comforting food as winter begins to descend.

My son had a great time working at the warehouse helping with the gifts for kids in foster care. He asked if we could go back next year. I think it was a good experience for us both, and we had some good time together.

My granddad's soup

3 onions, chopped
1 lb lean ground beef
Brown these and place in crock pot. Add
46 oz can V8
2 cans cream of celery soup (I use low fat low sodium)
Cook for at least a couple of hours. That's it!


You can also add a block of frozen spinach or some diced celery, but that's the basics. Good, pretty healthy (better if you bulk it up with extra veggies) and comforting.
