Little by Little Vegetable Soup

By OrahLee (Guest Post)

I lived with some folks back when, that did this, but she had a secret ingerdient that made it just the BEST! She canned sauerkraut in pints, and added one jar to her big pot of soup. that's all she used her home canned kraut for, and she was known for her great soup! Now I do this with a regular size can of kraut from the store and get pretty great results --- if I do say so myself!

This is a good idea. I also did this when all my 4 children were home. I used a tupperware lettuce keeper and whenever I had a spoonful of veggies, a slice of tomato, any amount of, of gravy or broth, bits of onion, left over beef or pork roasts into the container and to the freezer it went. When full I added extra meat and the resulting stew made it almost a free meal. Serve with corn bread or biscuits!

When I was growing up (back in the years dirt was being invented) my mother kept a gallon bag in the freezer just like this. When the bag was full we knew we were having soup soon! Guess who still does that!
