Nothing will ever hit harder than a Reuben.
I remember when I was a really young man, (early 20s), I got a job as a security guard for an apartment complex in Montebello, California. As you can imagine, the pay was very little, and I had a wife and a one-year-old daughter. The other security guard that was responsible for me getting the job offered to make vegetable soup for me one night. Like most people, I had had vegetable soup before, I was very hungry and was not impressed with what he was offering. Along with the offer came with me chopping the vegetables. That is where the difference came in from any other soup I had before. He had me cut the vegies in huge chunks. This soup Mav made reminded me of that night. The ingredients are pretty much the same, without the garlic, olive oil, and fish sauce. That soup was the most awesome soup I had had in…well, ever! It was just veggie soup but it was really good. One of those meals that feels like it warms the soul.
Boy do I have a recipe for you! So easy and all you need is 2 ham hocks boil in water until you get a broth . Then pop open a can or 2 of drained green beans add to the broth pick hocks of any good meat and if you can buy diced ham thickly diced add that with some diced potatoes cook until potatoes are done . Some buttered bread this will fill your tummy and warm your heart. I love watching you on all your adventures!!
