Rowdy is my grandma, she got the nickname for being a VERY vocal defender & supporter of her grandchildren. It's what we all call her. This is her favorite winter soup, and the one I grew up with.

For the love of soup. When your really in the mood for a bunch of different things, and you just can't decide what you want? Well here is a soup idea for you. It has meatballs, hotdogs, and sausage. It has cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes. Something different for everybody's taste buds. You can substitute or add, subtract as you wish. Well I hope you give it a go.

You can make this into a stew beef and tomato soup by leaving out the vegetables and adding more tomato sauce as needed. I often start it out as the tomato soup and then add the vegetables the next go round.

A simple, beloved recipe passed down from my Great Aunt Mary, who had no daughters of her own, to my mom, then passed on to me.

Great fall soup...you can adjust the vegetables to what is available and what you like :)

Twas the night before payday, and all through the kitchen, not a meal was in sight, not even leftovers.So I pulled this together with odds and ends. It was way better than I expected. You could probably sub in any veggies you have laying around, or any starch (rice or barley or pasta) instead of lentils and potatoes. That's what's so awesome about soup.Note that I only had about a quarter cup of lentils to use and most of those sunk to the bottom. I'd have used a full cup if I had it, your soup will have more lentils than the picture shows.

Just went for it... getting good at this cooking stuff 🤣😁
