    I'm snickering here. I have that problem with soup turning into stew too. Oh, well, still tastes good! I think I'll go get a rutabaga for my next beef vegetable "Soup" Can't wait to 'attack' it with my sturdy peeler! Thanks for mentioning the lesser known--cheaper--root veg which are probably so healthy too.
    Nicely written and presented :-)

    Thanks, Sally!

    Nobody who tastes our stew would ever guess we had such a "disability."

    LOL!

    I didn't know it qualified as a disability, but my soups could almost be eaten with a fork, too. A cup of thin soup, I call broth.

    I'm sure broth has its place, but it's rarely found in my kitchen except as an ingredient for soup stew!

    The only difference between a stew and a soup is the size of the dice and the amount of the broth. My mom always made stew first and soup about two or three days later from the same huge pot of stock.

    The year was 1940 on. The meat base was most often groundhog, pigeon or rabbit with wet steam dumplings for Sunday's evening meal. Breakfast was often fried milk toast.
