My Soup

I worked at a hospital for 21 years and while there was privileged to have access to the recipes of the hospital chef. Yes, he was a certified chef, and could cook some mighty fine meals. This was not the regular hospital food. They made a special thing of how fine their food was and had sit down, white linen and silver, meals for the public each evening.
My favorite recipe that I received was "Tomato Florentine Soup". I make a lot of this and then freeze it, and it works very well, just cook a little less than the time called for so the pasta is still firm.
I live where there is very little access to a store and fresh vegetables so I have been dehydrating my vegetables and that includes spinach. Today I made my soup and used the dried spinach and it was just as good as the fresh.

I have recently used some of the cheese that I canned and it was very good, was glad I had it on hand. My next project is to can butter.
