Best 4 Grannys Homemade Soup Recipes

GRANNY'S HOMEMADE SOUP

Steps:

• Wash chicken.
• Put in large pot and cover above chicken with hot water about 1 inch.
• Open tomatoes and drain juice into pot.
• Crush tomatoes with hands and add to pot.
• Wash celery and carrots, then slice and add to pot.
• Bring to a boil and then cover and lower temp to a low boil and cook 1 hour.
• Watch to make sure liquid doesn't boil out. If it gets low add a little more water.
• Remove chicken, set aside and let cool.
• Add potatoes and cook 30 more minutes.
• After potatoes are done, take 3 or 4 chunks and smash them on the side of the pan. This will help to thicken the soup.
• Add onion, tomato SOUP (or sauce), corn and butter beans and cook about 10 minutes.
• Pull the chicken off the bone and add to pot.
• Salt and Pepper to taste now or in your own bowl. I personally think salt is a must in this soup.
• Stir and serve.
• Delicious!

GRANNY'S OKRA SOUP

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, lima beans, okra, potatoes, corn, green beans, carrots, and tomato paste in a large soup pot. Pour chicken stock over mixture and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables begin to soften, about 15 minutes.
• Season ground beef with garlic powder, celery salt, and onion powder. Set aside.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic when butter stops bubbling; cook and stir for 1 minute. Spread ground beef evenly in the pan. Cook until it has a nice brown sear, stirring minimally to end up with mostly medium-sized chunks, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain skillet and add beef, onions, and garlic to the soup pot.
• Bring soup mixture to a boil; reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables and beef have cooked down, 1 to 2 hours.
