Recipe by:
Tom Hutchinson
A good friend of ours brought this soup to us shortly after the birth of our first child. It's very hearty, simple to make, and has a wonderful flavor. An alternate method to prepare this soup is to mix all the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 5 hours.

Jim's Zydeco Red Beans and Rice
Recipe by:
Jim Wenink
This is not an instant meal, but since no canned or "quickie" style meal has ever graced my table, I offer this one. It is done using traditional methods, but is well worth the time spent in preparation. You've never tasted anything like this, unless you've eaten red beans and rice along the Lafouche Bayou, in a town called LaRose, LA, that is. When all is ready, put a large scoop of rice in the bottom of a bowl, cover with red beans, butter some bread and crack your favorite beverage.
Grill or Camp Stove Tailgate Chili
Okay, here's the tailgating plan. Make this big pot of chili one night late in the week, then let it sit in the fridge until game day. The flavors will mesh together like linemen on a perfectly-called draw play, and you'll be the one hearing the fans' cheers.
Oh Ya, Real Good Chili
Everyone thinks of Texas when they think of Chili, but we eat lots of it up here in Minnesota where it's cold 9 months out of the year. I like this version because you don't have to do much measuring and it sticks to your ribs real good.
