Yep, it’s Elgourmand. For some reason, the server decided that my password is wrong. Strange, as it has worked for the last 5 years. Merde. Setting her at my PC, having my morning cuppa , pondering the day ahead. Read more Went through the fridge to decide what to cook for this afternoon/evening. Interesting. Breakfast will be Corned Beef Hash (homemade corned beef), with an egg on top. I noticed that I have a small amount of several veggies that need to be used up soon and a bit more corned beef than I want for breakfast. So, soup or stew. When does a stew become a soup? When you think so. We all make fifty kinds of soup or stew but this combo worked out so well I wanted to write it down and do it again. As with all soups and stews, sub wherever your mood dictates. Didn’t want more leftovers and only two of us to eat this so the quantities given are for two, or three, good sized servings. See less

How to make it
- Prep the stuff: Slice, dice, peel, etc.
- 1. I do soup in a Crock Pot so the frying steps are done in a small cast iron skillet and then added to the pot. If you’re doing stove top, just do it all in the pot and adjust times.
- 2. Get out your cast iron wonder & heat it up a bit.
- 3. Toss in the bacon and stir around a tad, add the sausage.. See Photo
- 4. Add the onions and meatballs. Stir gentle, until onion starts to brown.
- 5. Add the garlic and cook another minute, or two. Turn off the heat.
- 6. Put the broth, or water, in the Crock Pot and set to high. See Photo
- 7. Add the frying pan stuff and wine, if using a Crock Pot.
- 8. Add the carrots, celery and bay leaf. Stir and let cook for two hours.
- 9. Add the broccoli and mushrooms, cook another hour.
- 10. Find and remove the bay leaf.
- 11. Add the salt and FG pepper.
- 12. Add the pasta and cook another hour, on low.
- Times are sorta. Do it your way. If you want to go surfing, set the Crock Pot on low and adjust times. Haven’t been surfing for a while but fond memories, indeed. See Photo
