Not a brand, but a type of cheese, like brie, cheddar, colby, jack. It is a German variety of cheese.OK, I understand now. It's not the brick style of packaging but the brand of cheese you can't find.
Sorry, I misled the conversation. I don't believe I have ever seen the brand so I learned something new, thank you.
Thank you, kapydell. I have several of her books and have since the 1980s. I like her nutritional ideas.I always have the small (6 cup) crockpot going. Into it goes the veggie cooking liquids, the defatted pan scrapings from cooking meat, and all bones. Makes the best broth, which is then re-cycled in gravies (we both like gravy) as well as soups. I basically use the recipe from Adelle Davis' 'Lets Cook it Right' (Davis was a nutritionist popular in the 1970s, with a PhD in nutrition.). For anyone who might want it, here 'tis:
Soup Stock
Select large soup kettle (I use a slow cooker) with a flat base and a tight fitting lid; put over heat and add:
accumulated bones, meat trimmings, and or fresh bones
2 quarts water
1/4 c vinegar
2 tsp salt
Cover and simmer 3-4 hours or cook 30 min in a pressure cooker. If odor of vinegar can be detected at the end of this period, uncover kettle and boil vigorously a few minutes until vinegar has evaporated. Add:
chopped parings (washed vegetables before peeling) and leftovers
1/4 to 1/2 tsp crushed black or white peppercorns
1 whole cayenne or chili terpine
2 or 3 crumbled bay leaves
Force the chopped vegetables down into the stock and cover utensil; reduce heat and boil slowly 15 minutes. Remove stock from heat; if convenient, let soak overnight; strain stock through colander and discard bones and parings. If stock is not to be used immediately pour it into a jar and chill; remove fat. Freeze if desired. Use stock for sauces, jellied meats, soups, bouillons, consommes and for general cooking.
Variations
Cook heart or tongue in the stock to be served cold, reheated, or added to soup.
If the odor of vinegar does not disappear quickly, add 2 or more crushed eggshells.
Beef stockl for jellied bouillons, consommes, aspics: Purchase 2 pounds or more of ribs, back bones, or any bones from young but matured beef. Prepare as in basic recipe (above). If stock is not a firm jelly when refrigerated, reheat and add 2 to 4 teaspoons gelatin soaked in 1/2 cup water.
Chicken stock: Purchase 2 pounds or more of chicken feet. Wash and chop bones into 1 inch pieces; proceed as in basic recipe. Delicious stock which costs almost nothing can be ma
de from chicken feet. Stilbestrol is injected into the necks of most commercially raised chickens; therefore do not make stock from chicken necks.
Clear soup stock: To clear stock, reheat strained stock and add several shells from raw eggs or the uncooked white of 1 egg; stir well, simmer 5 min and strain. Small particles stick to raw egg white and are held fast as soon as it cooks.
Dark soup stock: Include 1/2 pound or more of soup meat, preferably heel of round; dredge with whole wheat flour; brown well before adding water and bones.
Light soup stock: Use fresh veal or lamb bones, chicken legs, or leftover chicken turkey, rabbit, veal, and pork bones; omit any vegetable scraps which may give it a dark color.
Stock of uncooked meat and fresh bones: Parboil beef shank or oxtail; ask butcher to saw shank into 1 inch pieces. When meat is almost tender, add vegetable parings, cook and strain. Squeeze juices from parings and discard bones, returning meat to soup.
Vegetable cooking water: Use or omit bones; put vegetable parings, salad and vegetable scraps, and leftovers to be discarded into large utensil; add 1-2 teaspoons salt and enough water to cover when cooked. Boil slowly for 15 minutes. Shred any leafy vegetable after cooking, and let stand 4 hours or overnight; strain through colander. Use for general cooking, decreasing the amount of salt called for in the recipes. sing this extract instead of water can add immeasurably to health, especially when vegetables are free of sprays and grown on composted soil.
The only thing I do is use a larger crockpot to make the stock; if making a lot, I freeze the extra in 2-cup amounts in freezer bags that I stack in the freezer (I freeze them flat so they stack easily.) For my soups I use a 6 cup crock pot, so I'm not eating a whole week of the same soup. I use the above stock as a base, add some dried beans, then whatever I feel like. Soup for breakfast is a nice change in cold weather.
sorry the post was so long....
I used to make a big pot of different types of soup almost every weekend. I would keep some out and eat it. Much of it would go into individual serving size containers and into the freezer. I would pull one out on my way out the door to work and it would have thawed by lunch time. This worked great for me. After I did this for a while, I had a variety of soups to eat throughout the week. This was a thrifty and healthy way to eat lunch everyday. I bought containers and lids from a local restaurant supply that I used. I labeled the lid with the date and type of soup.Weedy ,I need to can some soup soon. :thumbs up: recipes.
I looked and looked recently for this recipe and could not find it. Hopefully I will be able to find the recipe the next time I want to make it. I looked on my recipe blog as well. No luck, but I found it today!Butter Bob's Famous Chili
http://www.buttermakesyourpantsfalloff.com/butter-bobs-famous-chili/
1. Brown 3 1/2 pounds of hamburger meat. (1 3/4 pounds for half recipe)
2. While the meat is browning, use a food processor to chop two green bell peppers and one yellow onion.
3. Measure the spices on a plate (so you can add easily when the hamburger is browned).
– 2 tsp of garlic powder (1 tsp)
– 1/8 cup of cumin
– 1/4 cup of chili powder
– 1/2 to 1 tsp cayenne pepper ( the more you use the hotter!!)
– 3 tsp salt
4. Open the two cans –
one 10.5 oz can of Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chilies.
one 10.75 oz can of Tomato Puree.
5. Drain the fat off the browned hamburger into a bowl. (Do not throw away).
Pour about half the drained fat back into the pot (over a cup of fat, I reused about half of that, a little over 1/2 cup this time), you could use all the fat, but it might make the chili too greasy.
6. Add the spices you prepared into the pot with the meat and mix.
7. Add chopped onions and peppers into the pot with the meat and mix.
8. Add a full box of beef broth or about 32 ounces.
9. Mix in 10.5 oz. can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies and 10.75 oz. can of tomato puree.
10. Mix it all up and let it cook for 30-45 minutes on medium heat, stir often.
Serve it up with some shredded real whole fat cheese and/or sour cream. And hopefully Enjoy.
It is almost impossible to figure exact calorie or macro-nutrient numbers, but the following is my best calculated guess.
297 grams of fat for full pot of chili – this is if you drain and throw away a 1/2 cup of fat from browning the meat.
272 grams of protein for full pot.
83 grams of Total Carbs for full pot.
60 grams of Net Carbs for full pot.
I like it. Add some fresh biscuits or bread and it is good. I grew up with grandparents who lived on farms and ranches. They always used leftovers in soup. If Grandma made a beef roast on Sunday, maybe a 7 bone roast, the bone went into the pot along with some onions, carrots, celery and seasonings. Other veggies went in, later, after the bone had been cooking for a while. Grandma V. also added barley to her beef based soup. I do not.soup is good

Soup is good during cooler weather. You come in from outside and it warms you up. I like it in the crockpot on low. It is ready when you are. It is easy to freeze in serving sizes and take out what you need. For years I bought the deli containers for the freezer portions. I bought them by the sleeve at a local restaurant supply. Easy to use and store. They stacked in the freezer. If the container made it home safe and sound, I would reuse it. If not, not a big loss.
This is a recipe that could be made from food storage, or rather, the ingredients for this could be stored for this soup!Quick and easy Chicken and Rice Soup

This makes about 6 servings.This is a recipe that could be made from food storage, or rather, the ingredients for this could be stored for this soup!
One of my favorite soups is pho. I don't eat it very often. I have wanted to make my own, and I have, but not with much luck. I don't think mine has enough flavor. One of the things that I have seen in other recipes is that it is often made in restaurants with msg. Marion's Kitchen is a channel that was introduced to me a couple months ago. I would love to make many of her recipes.
