Letter Soup

I am not sure of the original source of this recipe. It is comfort food numero uno at our house and has been in high demand this winter with numerous sick kids. It solves bads days at school, tummy aches, sore throats, and soccer games with no goals. Yes... it's the cure (at our house, anyway).

Ingredients:

3 Cans Vegetarian Vegetable Soup

1 Can Condensed Tomato Soup

1 small onion, chopped

1 pound ground beef or turkey (I used Turkey this time)

4 cups water

To prepare:

Brown the meat with the chopped onion. Drain the excess grease from the meat. Combine the rest of the ingredients and simmer until warm through.

On Serving Day:

It's all ready to go. Simply thaw, heat, and serve. Yummy with crackers, cornbread, or ham & cheese sandwiches.

Maid Rite Sandwiches

This is a family favorite--a copycat recipe of the famous Maid Rite in Greenville, Oh. Just be careful--you might have a sudden urge to stick gum on a wall! :)

Ingredients:
1 lb. hamburger
1 T. sugar
2 T. yellow mustard
1 1/2 t. black pepper
1 med. onion chopped finely
1 t. salt

Directions: Cook in a double boiler for 1 hour. Use less pepper if you do not like the hot taste.

Serving Day:
Thaw and reheat. To be like the Maid Rite... serve on hamburger buns with chopped onions, yellow mustard and dill pickle chips.

Enjoy!
