MOM'S VEGETABLE SOUP WITH CHICKEN OR BEEF(GERMAN GEMUSE SUPPE)

Steps:

• To an 8 quart stock pot, add beef bone or chicken, water, bay leaf, onion chunks, and sprigs of parsley. Bring to a boil; cover, then simmer about 1 to 1 1/2 hours until beef or chicken is almost done.
• Remove meat bone or chicken to a plate and let cool enough to handle. Strip meat from the bones into chunks (discard bones), and set aside.
• Meanwhile add sliced carrots, leek, chopped celery with leaves, chicken bouillon cubes and pepper (do not add salt). Bring to a boil; cover and simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and the chunks of meat from the cooled soupbone or the chicken; cover and simmer about 35 minutes longer.
• Add cauliflower rosettes, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add chopped fresh parsley and remove from heat.
• Serve steaming hot with a crusty French bread or rolls and butter.
• Makes good leftovers (soup is great on day 1, but tastes even better on days 2-3), and freezes/reheats well.
• VARIATIONS: May add about 6 oz. frozen peas at same time as cauliflower (increase cooking time by about 5 minutes to compensate for the cold peas). I also sometimes add a cup or two of fresh sliced zucchini and/or green beans a few minutes after adding the cauliflower. Also good with sliced hot dogs or kielbasa sausage added during the last 5 minutes or so of cooking time (enough time to heat through).

MY MOTHER'S VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Cut all vegetables into large or small chunks, as desired.
• Cut chicken into small pieces. (my mother leaves the chicken meat on the bone, because the bones add even more flavour).
• Place everything in a large pot, and cover completely with water.
• Add the seasoning.
• Let it come to a boil, and then let it simmer for 1 1/2 hours. It can also be easily refrigerated and then reheated.
