Soup
From what I've read, people eat soup today for different reasons than they did in days of yore. Once considered an inexpensive meal for the poor, soup has become popular among the many health conscious consumers of today. There's a saying about soups in Southern Italy that states, "Sette cose fa la zuppa" which translates to "Soup does seven things. It relieves your hunger; quenches your thirst; fills your stomach; cleans your teeth; makes you sleep; helps you digest and and colors your cheeks".
Since being back on my own in April, I've experimented with a number of dishes. Few disaster, I must admit, but many resounding successes. Vegetable and onion soup, clam chowder, beef stew and chili are the five at the top of the list. Whenever I've made too large a quantity I made up several Tupperware Containers for my approving first floor neighbors. Slow simmering appeals to me. An hour ago my stove top range welcomed my latest attempt, a Tuscan Type White Bean Soup ( with navy Beans, small pasta, carrots, tomato, garlic, peas, zucchini, broccoli, celery, onion, parley, oregano, sea salt, coarse ground black pepper, few sprinkles of red pepper flakes for cheap heat, bay leaf, few fresh basil leaves from the garden yesterday, extra virgin olive oil, splash of dry white wine, chicken stock and freshly grated Parmesan and Romano) which should be well married and ready for dinner tonight. Bought a bag of Ciabatta Italian Style Dinner Rolls with Rosemary and Olive Oil (Alexia Brand) which should pair well with the meal.
I'm interested in your views on the subject along with any favorite recipes you'd be willing to part with, useful tips, suggestions on do's and don'ts or any store bought brands you recommend. Thanks.

Pressure cook some heels until they are soft and gooey. remove bone and cut up meat into chunks. Add meat and resulting liquid to any soup you like .. like the one you just made above.
Many people turn up their nose at cow heel not knowing that whenever they eat jello or any gelatin based desert thats cow heel 😀.
Its very tasty in soup.
