2 can tomatoes, do not drain (larg
Directions
This is a hearty sweet and sour meat soup that can be used as a main
dish. Bubbies measurements were never exact. You need to taste. Put
meat and bones in a 8 or 12 qt stock pot. Put in cans of tomato,
cover with water and bring to a boil. In the meantime, get your
veggies ready. Slice beets and carrots, others go in whole. When
stock boils, skim off top. Put in beets, carrots, garlic, and other
veggies. Turn heat down to a simmer and keep lid on askew. After
about an hour, put in garlic and sugar.
I have used Sweet and Low. Amounts are a matter of preference. It
should have a rich, sweet and sour taste. I break up the meat and
stir it back into the soup before serving. NOTE: Sometimes I add some
tomato paste; 2 or 3 T for body; Enjoy!!! * Elaine/Framingham *

The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a surge in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
