Canned Soup - From Watered Down to Hearty

 

To make a canned soup hearty.

Canned soups are convenient but when I went to get a can out for lunch the other day, all the good thick yummy ones were all used. I found a low salt , low fat, chicken noodle vegetable but it was very plain. I wanted something hearty to warm up. 

Wait till you see what I did. It is so quick, easy and magically turns a tasteless watered down canned soup into a creamy delicious meal. A great trick !

If you soup is condensed add the water or milk as directed and pour in the soup pan. If it is the kind you can eat without adding anything just pour in the soup pan.  

Take 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of room temperature butter ( salted or unsalted)  per prepared can of soup and knead together. Smoosh the flour and butter together until mixed then roll it into a ball. When the soup get warmed drop the dough ball and stir until it is mixed in. The liquid will be thicker and tastier. Add salt and pepper or some herbs if you like. I had toast with mine and broke off pieces and tossed them into the soup scooping each one up with a spoon. Yum *

Until next time remember:

 

You can count the apples on a single tree but

Only God knows how many apples are in a single seed.

You have as much greatness hidden within you as any other man or woman who is living or has ever lived. However, greatness comes to each of us in "seed-form"; and as any farmer will tell you, it's not whether or not you have a seed that brings forth the harvest, it's what you do with that seed. First the farmer must believe in the process. If he doesn't have faith in the seeds and harvest he will not put forward the effort to plant the seed. 

But if you truly believe in the process, then like the farmer, you must be willing to toss the seed of your dreams and efforts here and there and everywhere trusting the seeds will take root and bring forth the fruit of your labor!

The farmer must believe that something is happening even when he does not see it with his eyes, when the seeds are buried deep beneath the ground. He can not doubt the seeds are still there and doubt the process continuing to dig up the seeds over and over and expect to see results.

Until next time, I will share this with you.

Everyday I look for joy.I ask the universe first thing in the morning, "What is my greatest joy?"  While feeding the animals, I become aware of the thrill of the snow crunching under my feet, and shortly after, Mother and Father Raven perch above me and call back and forth to each other. Later in the day, my husband invites me for brisk walk with our three dogs in the juniper forest. The feeling of being healthy and having my family with me fills me with so much gratitude my heart overflowed with joyful tears. The evening ended with a drive through the juniper forest as the sun was setting. A pair of large birds either golden eagles or large hawks were soaring high above the cliffs trying to escape some angry ravens. When the sun hit their wings it was like they had white feathers. 

All day the joys kept coming into my awareness. I recognized the feelings of joy. Do you know how many times our minds are so busy we do not notice the possibilities for experiencing the feelings of joy and the potential for joys that are all around us? 

Each joy sent tingles and thrill bumps through my skin like a signal that proved to me yes, this was yet another joy and I milk that feeling holding it within my whole being as long I can. 

 Ask yourself in the morning: What is my greatest joy? That opens the door to joy. Then begin noticing the things that you appreciate. The more you appreciate the more there is to appreciate.
