Priscilla, you should freeze some of the made soup so it'll be ready to
go when you get that cold you just wished on yourself and don't feel
like making more soup. ;-)

Envy Sounds gorgeous. Actually, I have an oxtail of my own in the
freezer, I've been saving it until I can find another and make a stew
- but a soup would do just as well!

Oddly enough there was none leftover for freezing. ;-) Couldn't get
myself to deny myself a single drop! I'm not always very good at
delayed gratification. :-(

How much soup did you make? Somehow I never can make less that a gallon
or mor by time I finish adding stuff. there are always a couple of
quarts, at least, for the freezer. It may be because I have a couple of
very large soup pots that look funny with just a couple of quarts in
them:-)

Me too Wendy. I have a huge soup pot that I usually think to myself.....
It is going to take almost the same amount of work, the same amount of
cooking time, to make a bigger batch, so why not? Then I am glad I have
it. If we go to visit my father, I bring a container or two. If a friend
is sick, I have one handy. If we don't have any other plan for lunch, soup
is thawed out and ready to eat in a few minutes, and it is always
satisfying.

After the first meal, there were three pint jars full, so I'd say I made
1/2 gallon.

The "stockpot" I made it in was actually an old heavy pressure-cooker
bottom that I picked up at a yard sale. It's the kind of pot my parents
used a lot in cooking when I was a kid. The handle has now broken off,
but it's still primo for cooking ingredients that want a heavy pot and
aren't suitable for cast iron.

I like the stainless steel pots with a thick alumnum cookie(or disk) on
the bottom. they cook well adn clean well. I pick them up, either on
sale or at local country auctions in the summer.

I got all of mine at Home Goods. I really enjoy buying just exactly the
right shape and size pot for the purpose, rather than a whole matching set.
They seldom have the right combination I need, but I find the best deals at
Home Goods. I bought a gigantic soup pot with a glass lid there, and it is
the best soup pot ever.

Ah, that's my favorite store these days. It used to be dress shops
and shoe stores, but now I could spend all day in Home Goods. Best
place to get kitchen odds and ends, as you say.

I like the Macy's Tools of the Trade brand with the metal handles, not the
plactic ones. I have a lovely 12 quart one tht was on a crazy sale some
years agolik $15 or so. It makes great soup and stew-just lots of it:-)
