Patty’s Mom’s Black Bean Soup
This is a simple recipe, yet it is the best black bean soup I’ve tried. I have been lucky to get home smoked ham, and used the bone from it. I’ve also made it with smoked ham hocks I’ve gotten from the butcher. Of course the home smoked ham makes the soup superlative, the butcher bone made it wonderful. Either way, I think you’ll enjoy it. It can be made spicy if that’s the way you prefer it. It can also be topped with sour cream.
Asian Chicken Noodle Soup
This is an authentic, ‘home-style’ dish served in Taiwanese homes. You can vary the easy-to-buy ingredients however you want to yield as many servings as you want. Try adding a couple of tablespoons of whole kernel corn. Super easy to make, kids can do it too! Tender noodles coupled with subtle chicken broth, all with succulent pieces of chicken, exotic shitake mushrooms and a slow-simmered egg … my favorite rainy-day meal!
