A bowl of soup is good anytime of the year, but making it in the fall of the year when it’s flu season is always the best time to stock up and making lots to bottle for a later date to enjoy. I make soup at less once a week and I give away many bottles of soup as gifts, or because I make so much. I will share a few more good soup recipes for you to share with your family and friends and for sure to make them.

      Hi Bonita, loved your recipe for the pea soup. Your directions are very easy to follow and the soup and doughboys were delicious.
      My father was the best cook in our house,he was from the bay. He would make steak or pork chops with gravy and onions with a paste on it in a cast iron pan in the oven. It would end up all browned up and about 1-2″ thick. I know you make one like a pie crust , any ideas on making it thick ? Thanks

        Hi Rick: Thank you for your message and I love those pasties that go thick and fluffy. I’m going to add your request to my line up and the pastry that your dad used was the same as the one we use for our blueberry cobbler. Just type in that on this link and have a look at that video for the pastry. Let me know what you think and when we make your recipe request, you will get a notification letting you know. Thanks Bonita

          Hi Rick: This is the link for the blueberry cobbler recipe, if you make it leave out the vanilla in the pastry if you are putting it over your pork chop, onions and gravy meal. Enjoy Bonita https://youtu.be/Gbyd0WB4vZ4
