SLOPPY JOE SOUP

Steps:

• Remove meat from pot and set aside. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of grease from pot and discard.
• Add onion and green bell pepper; cook until softened, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic, thyme and cayenne pepper; cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add ketchup and cook, stirring, until it darkens in color, about 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, water, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar and brown sugar.

• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with corn chips or toasted garlic bread.

CAMPBELL'S SOUP-SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, onion, and celery, in the shortening.
• (I used 85% ground chuck for this recipe, so I didn't have to add any shortening, when cooking the beef and vegetables).
• Drain off the excess grease.
• Season the cooked beef and vegetables, with the spices.
• Stir in the tomato soup.
• Cover skillet, and simmer to blend flavors.
• (I simmered mine for for 30 minutes; stirring frequently.).
• Serve sloppy joes on hamburger buns topped with some shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
• Note: I thought the sloppy joes tasted even better reheated the next day. You could really taste the chili powder in the sloppy joes a bit more.

JOE'S ITALIAN TOMATO BASIL SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the oil over low heat in a heavy bottom pot.
• Add the onion; wilt over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic during the last 2 minutes, stirring.
• Add the tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover; cook over medium-low heat for 60 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Add basil. Stir in the cream or half & half, simmer for another 30 minutes.
• Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
• Note: When tomatoes are in-season use fresh tomatoes, blanch for 8 minutes and process with food processor. In the winter, use a San Marzano-type canned tomato, drain half of the liquid and process in food processor.
