haha im irish, basically throw some beef in a pot with an onion, add some gravy, throw a few potatoes in and thats 90% of all our meals. Sometimes we fry some cabbage to go with it!

Nothing like a good stew!! Fed that to my kids for years....that and soups, as I always had a "crowd" of children to feed with mine and their friends, and not many $$, so those things went well and the kids loved it! For years when I would visit my kids in college, my job was to stock their freezers with soups and stews and their favorite meals divided into single portions.
My girls still laugh about when they were finishing med school and studying for their final exams, everyone stayed at school to study, brining a sandwich for lunch, and my girls just brought their single portions of lasagna, soups, stroganoff, etc., and made everyone jealous!!

lol we are slow to adapt us irish, so all this kale and spices and terragon or whatever is lost. cabbage, bacon, eggs, potatoes, chicken, bit of beef, carrot, maybe a turnip. Gets a bit fancy if you add some shrimp or stroganoff juice lol
Im a soup goddess though - i can make a soup out of nothing. My best i think is my cabbage and bacon, or my potato and leek. My pea and ham is pretty good too...the secret is always spuds! no soup is good without a spud...

AAAAAAAHHHHHH....Do Tell!! (as they say in North Carolina) I'm needing to do more soups now, as our recently arrived refugee niece is a teenager...and favorite words are "I'm hungry." Fortunately, she's not picky like my husband. She does, however, have a VERY sensitive stomach. (Inherited disorder??) Any stress, and she complains of stomach pains. Guess what happens during school days? Ill in the morning...poor little thing. Between new country, new customs, new language and living with people she doesn't really know I can't blame her. :-[ :-[ It's been 12 years since she last saw her uncle, so the amount of trust she's willing to gives us is humbling.
That's why I'd like to acquire your soup goddess recipes! Simple, stretches a $, tasty. And Ingrid has never met a spud she didn't like. ^-^ ^-^
Yesterday is the first time in 5 years I didn't make a Thanksgiving spread. We went to a cousins' home and enjoyed turkey and traditional Salvadorean side dishes. My favorite was remolacha. It is a potato salad dish made with:
Potatoes, canned and drained beets, mayonnaise, mustard, finely minced onion, chopped boiled egg and sliced olives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I hope I'm remembering it correctly. :P Slice the potatoes and beets (after boiling the potatoes to done without being too soft) then add all other ingredients. My lupus causes me to suffer from pernicious anemia and I know that beets are an excellent source of iron and other vitamins. They taste like eating dirt! (Foodies say "an EARTHY flavor", I've learned that's foodie code for D-I-R-T. >:D ) So this excellent recipe gives me a great way to eat healthy and not taste dirt. YAHOO BUCKEROO. LOL

It really is as simple as it sounds. Fry up some an onion and some bacon, boil a pot of cabbage and put in a few potatoes (not too many as it makes it too thick) then blend it. Same for all the rest! Cook the ingredients as normal, throw them in a pot with water and a few potatoes and blend! Haha
