Suppertime

What's for supper tonight? I think I have changed my mind about 3 times now. I know we are going to have fresh fried potatoes for sure and some carrots. I generally have peaches for dessert too. I think we will have chicken tenders with dipping sauce. I just love crescent rolls too so may bake some of those. We had carry out last night from a local restaurant for a change and that was really good too. Now it is back to the stove and prepare supper. Won't be long now, another hour.

Homemade German Rice Soup

We love homemade rice soup like my mother-in-law always used to make. You need to make a good batch of beef broth. Then I pressure cook some stew meat until tender the day before and make enough for two batches and freeze one batch of meat and some broth. Next you add a big potato diced up or two if you like lots of potato. I add a can of diced carrots drained once the potatoes have cooked in the beef broth till done. While that is cooking, I make about a cup and a half of minute rice and let it stand until the potatoes are done in the broth. Add the rice and the stew meat and its broth and bring to a boil. And it is ready to eat. Lasts us several days for lunches and sometimes a supper if we are in a hurry. I make the beef broth with beef buillion out of a jar added to hot water in a 3-4 quart pan. Add it to your taste. When it is ready and boiling add those potatoes, and follow the directions given above. Sometimes the next day the rice will soak up all the broth. You can always make a little more broth in a smaller pan and add to it. It is so good.
