Try some cow-heel soup.
Pressure cook some heels until they are soft and gooey. remove bone and cut up meat into chunks. Add meat and resulting liquid to any soup you like .. like the one you just made above.
Many people turn up their nose at cow heel not knowing that whenever they eat jello or any gelatin based desert thats cow heel 😀.
Its very tasty in soup.
Of course, the best soup ever is Dutch pea soup, but that's definitely a winter dish.

wait staff will take pity on you, later this evening, so you won't have to crawl over to your bunks and go to sleep hungry. Do you got that!? ~gb

Awoke this morning with a few next chess move options/solutions and another off the wall contrarian food idea in mind: Why not start the day with a steaming cup of homemade soup, whatever's in the refrigerator (in my case, Tuscan White Bean Soup), as sort of an appetizer before my usual Farm Boy Breakfast. Why not? 'If not us, whom? If not now, when?' So don't tell any busy bodies or copycats but I'm sipping, almost inhaling, my first "Soup at Sunrise" while talking with you this glorious sunny Thursday morning and getting caught up with the world and local news. If you decide to give it a try, please let us know.

An hour ago my stove top range welcomed my latest attempt, a Tuscan Type White Bean Soup ( with navy Beans, small pasta, carrots, tomato, garlic, peas, zucchini, broccoli, celery, onion, parley, oregano, sea salt, coarse ground black pepper, few sprinkles of red pepper flakes for cheap heat, bay leaf, few fresh basil leaves from the garden yesterday, extra virgin olive oil, splash of dry white wine, chicken stock and freshly grated Parmesan and Romano) which should be well married and ready for dinner tonight. Bought a bag of Ciabatta Italian Style Dinner Rolls with Rosemary and Olive Oil (Alexia Brand) which should pair well with the meal."
Not a fan of thin watery minestrone type soups. Soups need muscle and balls. Give me a chowdah type soup with beans, lentils, potatoes, carrots, pasta, maybe some chunks of chicken, a few prawns, pepers,with plenty of farmhouse breahowd and I am happy as a babe!

May I suggest this hearty, soup/cowdah recipe might well be one of the pills the good doctor mother earth ordered.

Originally posted by kevcvs57No. Lots of peas. Dried split peas. And no ham as such, but definitely bacon and boiled pork sausage and other winter pork products. And a bit of celeriac and carrot and leeks and such for texture, and a bayleaf and pepper to season it. It's proper food, for when you want a real meal that tastes good and feeds you as well.
Has it got ham in it, and some peas?
And it needs to be boiled for at least an hour and a half, and it's even better next day. You know how the Ozzies have a "meat pie floater", in which they float a meat pie in mushy peas? Well, if your meat pie can still float in your Dutch pea soup, rather than sitting on top of it, it's not a proper Dutch pea soup yet. Ozzies are wusses.

Originally posted by Pianoman1If it's thin and watery it's a minestra, not a minestrone. A minestrone should be full of stuff - most of what you mention, except the prawns and usually the chicken, would go into any decent one. Of course, a minestra is an appetiser, where a good minestrone could serve as a whole meal.
