Dismal Day (part I )  Ya know it is a dismal day in Iowa when it is cloudy 18 F ~~~ -7C with a freezing drizzle coating everything in a glaze of ice.  It is so Dismal JD asked for cabbage soup! That's like pretending the DDR (East Germany) was a Theme Park !   Cabbage soup was a working man's soup designed to fill him up at a low cost. Normally you'd boil a bunch of beef soup bones, but thanks to the 21st century you don't get any soup bones so you resort to Jamison Beef Soup base.  Put about 4-5 teaspoons of the soup base into about 5cups of water over medium high heat.  Sliver half a medium onion then add it to the beef soup base.  Finely chop about 1/4 of a head of green cabbage then add that to the soup base.  You want to season the soup with Basil, oregano, and fennel.  Also add Black pepper, Paprika, and garlic powder. |

That sounds like a mighty fine soup for JD, the working man. Like you said, it must be a cold and dismal day if he asked for that. I had leftover ham/vegetable soup for lunch and some delicious and tender Ukrainian cabbage rolls for supper. Mmm, hmmm. Good.

The temp dropped through out the day and is now -4F, NW 10, partly cloudy. This morning we had 1.25" of snow with a lot of blowing snow and drifting snow. Right on schedule at 10 am, I got a delivery of the Christmas hamper from the County Food Bank. # boxes full of everything I needed including a 12.5 lb turkey cake mixes, cooking oil, toiletries, kitchen cleaners, etc, etc. I was so happy I cried while putting it all away. I don't need to go shopping for anything.

Cabbage soup is a dieters soup if you are trying to lose weight. When I make it I add onion, green pepper, carrot and celery. I also add diced tomatoes and chicken broth. It is a very hearty and wholesome soup. You could also substitute onion soup mix for the onion and chicken broth although there is quite a bit of sodium in the onion soup mix.

Now that is a dismal day for sure, but that fine soup went down a treat I bet.
