Old Mother Hubbards Vegetable Soup Food

MOTHER HUBBARD'S SOUP

Steps:

• Amounts aren't critical.
• Avoid broccoli and cauliflower; they're too strong-tasting.
• Save them for a soup all their own.
• Cook pasta in either water or broth.
• If you are using only water, drain.
• DO NOT drain if you use broth.
• Any vegetables that aren't precooked should be thrown in with the pasta while it's cooking.
• Add pre-cooked vegetables, meat and tomato sauce.
• If not"soupy" enough, add more broth or water.
• Add seasonings and salt and pepper to taste.
• If you use pizza or pasta sauce or one of the newer flavored tomato sauces, be sure to taste before adding additional seasoning.
• Simmer about 15 minutes.

GRANDMA'S VEGETABLE SOUP

HUBBARD SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Cut Hubbard Squash in two pieces.
• Put in roasting pan with 2 inches water on bottom of pan.
• Cover with foil, bake at 350 2-3 hours, until tender. Using a spoon, scrape all the yellow squash into a bowl (careful not to take the green unripened part). Set aside.
• Saute onion in 2 tablespoons butter till carmalized.
• Put all ingredients into a food processor and process until very smooth.
• (My food processor is small, so I do this in small batches and put each into a large pot, then stir till all is combined.).
• Add the steamed brocolli and ham cubes.
