Looks good for a winter night. Looks like enough for an army - going
to freeze some for lazy days? Or is is going to a......potluck?

Right now it's sitting outside on my back deck. It'll be cold by
morning and that's when I'll freeze most. It's not really a lot
considering many people have more than that in canned soups in their
pantry... I never buy canned soups. So now I have pea and barley, and
a couple containers of bean soup from last year. Winters here are
cold, when neighbors stop in I can always do a quick hearty meal with
my nuker... sometimes I think neighbors stop in just for my soups.
And anyway it's not much more effort to make a large pot of soup as a
small pot.

Your soup looks *very* good!
I'm like you...like to make it when it's cold outside. It makes the house
smell nice and feel cozy while it's cooking, and you can put it outside with
a lid to cool when it's done.

I also make about a gallon or more of soup whenever I make it as it freezes
well. I've got all the makings of a turkey-vegetable soup here....just
waiting for a cold spell. 60+F here today and tomorrow, so maybe next week?

it's been below freezing here for a couple of weeks already. Sitting
out on the deck my 16 qt pot was cold by this morning. I ate two big
bowls for dinner last night and two more tonight... used my 28 ounce
Williams Sonoma chilli bowls. The rest is already portioned and in my
freezer. A gallon of soup isn't much... that's only four quarts...
get yourself a much larger pot.

For years, I used a 5-quart pot. What a joke. But then I bought a bigger
one.

You made me look. My largest pot (Revere Ware) is an 8 quart pot. This is
what I use for soup. (I did say 1 gallon *or more*). Like you, I take it
right up just an inch or two from the rim so I guess I'm making more like 7
quarts of soup each time. Sounds right too because I end up with an average
of 14 pints...I freeze it in pint containers.

That's only half the size of your pot but it's enough for me living alone
now. Many times, I'll thaw a pint and eat it for 2 days (as it's very
thick...almost like a stew). One full pint would be a complete meal for me
(with some bread and butter added).

Anyway, I got all the ingredients....turkey broth from the TG turkey and all
the veggies. I'm just waiting for a cold spell so I can set it out on the
back porch for a few hours or overnight.

I'm chilling a beef veg soup in the snow on the patio right now. I'll
keep it out there a few hours, but I wouldn't trust it overnight.
Aren't you afraid the critters will get into it? We're in a suburban
area but we still have squirrels, raccoons, foxes, and the occasional
stray cat or dog wandering around in the back yard.

Maybe the local wildlife has tasted his soup before.

I suppose I've been lucky. I also have the bird feeder out there and
I keep a six gallon galvanized covered pail filled with bird seed
right there for refilling... critters will eat the spilled seed under
the feeder at night but they haven't bothered my supply pail. Right
now I'm feeding a ferral cat. I fixed up a little house in my barn
filled with old comforters. It's a big black cat with a white face. I
put a feeder in the barn and keep it filled with dry cat food. I
don't know if it's a male or a female but it's very happy with its
little house. Thing is I enjoy feeding the critters so if one day
they get my soup that's when I'll change my system. I can also set it
in a corner of my garage, where the largest critters are field mice. I
actually thought of tying the lid down to the pot handles with a
bungee cord. Maybe I'll do that next time. And that will probably be
the time some critter figures a way to get to it. But these critters
are innocents, they have no ulterior motive nor do they take food with
spite and malice, they are driven by nothing other than to satisfy
their hunger. In the urban and suburban areas I'd be more concerned
about thieving human critters who are only destructive.

I used to hang a couple bird feeders in my back yard but I stopped doing
that because our clothes line is out the birds were crapping all over
our laundry. I was thinking that maybe I could find a place on the other
side of the house. Then again..... we haven't had any cats for a few
years not having a dog running free, the squirrel population around
here has exploded. I am not paying to feed tree rats.
