Thank you for dropping by my Raising Jane Journal to participate in my giveaways! We’ve chosen a winner for this giveaway already (see below), but don’t be afraid to leave a comment anyway. I love reading them. And stay tuned for more great MaryJanesFarm giveaways.
In the Apr/May 2019 issue of MaryJanesFarm, “Possibilities” (on newsstands March 5), I led you here to my journal for a chance to win one of three FREE adjustable ziplock bag stands to help with your life easier when it comes to freezer storage. Ashley said, “Prior to adding this handy gadget to my kitchen, filling bags with soup was a production that involved two people—one person held the bag open and kept the contents from spilling out while the other filled. This little stand makes filling bags solo a breeze.”
For a chance to win, tell me what your favorite homemade soup is (and share the recipe if you’re inclined) in the comments below. I’ll toss your name into a hat and draw a lucky winner sometime mid-May.
Stay tuned for more magazine-related giveaways. If you’re not yet a subscriber to my magazine, MaryJanesFarm, subscribe here for $19.95/year.

“I wish I made better soup because I really like about every kind … the best one I have ever made was the chicken noodle soup … a recipe from your magazine!!!”
Donna Marie, who commented:
“New England clam chowder!”
Pauline Taylor, who commented:
“My favorite soup is Turkey soup, it is made twice a year with any left overs from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. I boil the left over turkey carcass in a stock pot of water until the meat falls off the bones. I pour it through a colander, add the ” broth” back into the stock pot, with all the meat minus the skin and bones. Then I open my fridge and add any leftovers like mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, etc. and barley. Once the barley’s done, it’s ready to eat.”
Congratulations, girls! Watch for an e-mail from the farm.
I like to make a homemade chicken noodle soup and make my own noodles, sometimes called dumplings. Yummy! My best way is totally from scratch, chicken, noodles, cooked raw carrots, etc., but sometimes I will use canned carrots if I am in a hurry and store-bought noodles.
Italian Vegetable Soup
Vegetable soup
Easy Chili (a cold weather chaser)
Brown 1 lb hamburger. Add 1 can of Bush’s Chili Beans (I use the Medium spiced) and 1 can of stewed tomatoes. This can be doubled or tripled or more.
It can be thinned with V-8 or tomato juice. You can add diced onion, green pepper &/or celery.
I sometimes serve it over cornbread, with a dollop of sour cream. Other times it’s served with shredded cheddar cheese. My husband just crushes saltine crackers into his.
Basically, I never make it the same way twice.
Broccoli and cheese!!
Is chicken and dumplings a soup? 😉 If not, then potato soup and chicken noodle soup with homemade noodles are my favorites.
My favorite soup is Tomato Basil
Nettle soup! Young nettles, 1 lg. onion, 2-3 potatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt/pepper, and vegetable stock. Yum!
Medistroni is my favorite kind of homemade soup. Yes, that is Medi-stroni, not Minestrone. 🙂 It is made with finely chopped broccoli, shredded carrots, tomato sauce, small white beans, and every other super-food you can fit into it, then seasoned to your taste. Very healthy!
That stands looks interesting. Sure would come in handy when I am filling my freezer bags with all my garden goodies. I love making stuffed pepper soup or lasagna soup.
Chicen Taco or chicken tortilla soup. 😊
I love potato soup with all of the fixings.
Clam Chowder
Lemon Orzo Soup. Favorite at my monthly craft girl party!
Our Favorite is: Beef Stew for the Fall through the Winter months with Home Made Dinner Rolls. I make Our by: 1 Lb. Hamburger or Sausage, 2 Handfuls of Diced Potatoes, 1 Finely Chopped Onion, 1 Med. Turnip by Dicing it up finely, and Vegetable Mixture Mix. Place all in a Dutch Oven with Beef Broth and Let It simmer for 45 Min. Add Creole, Parsley, Oregano, and Garlic in and stir in the Broth throughly; Cover. Let It cook for 2 1/2 Hours.
A soup made with a couple quart jars of my canned homegrown tomatoes with lots of herbs, garlic, onions, any leftover vegetables, cooked rice or noodles.
Chicken noodle
My favorite soup is Turkey soup, it is made twice a year with any left overs from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
