Zoupa Soupa..

10 Red potatoes leave skins on
1 Carrot
3-4 celery stocks
1 medium yellow onion
1 package of sausage
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup or more fresh greens
1/3 tsp. crushed red chillies
dried crushed oregano
dried crushed basil
salt
pepper

Cut up veggies place in stockpot, cover with water about 2/3 to the top.
boil till potatoes are softened. Cook sausage salt and season depending on your sausage, then add your crushed red chili peppers to the sausage, (caution very hot)
when your taters are soft add the sausage and evaporated milk, cook on high for 5-10 minutes, turn on low add your greens and serve. salt and pepper to taste.


I prefer to leave the potato and onion slightly chunky. It turns out to be a fairly thin broth with chunky veggies and sausage.

Sis. Jalea's Chili

2# Hamburger

2 cans Pinto beans

2 cans Black beans

2 cans Chili

2 cans Ro-tel

Chili seasoning pkg. or chili powder

Grated cheddar cheese

-Cook and season hamburger, draining grease. Add with beans, Ro-tel, and seasoning in large stockpot. Cook till boiling and serve with grated cheese. *I changed the recipe a little to suit my family--1# hamburger only, substitute 1 can of the chili for another can of pinto beans w/ chili flavoring, and i use mild Ro-tel which is plenty hot enough for my family. Very easy to add more cans of beans and extra seasoning to stretch.
