FAQ 13 SNOW DAY in AZ with Easy Vegetable Soup Recipe

FAQ 13 Snow Day in Flagstaff, Arizona 

ADOT Winter Driving Warning on I 40 past Flagstaff Arizona

I'm stuck in the house, drinking my coffee. . .

MODOT has issued a NO DRIVE ALERT

for Joplin, Missouri 



My solution. Stay home. 

The roads are covered in ice with a topping of powdery snow - more to come. It's not so bad with a couple of inches of snow but when you add the ice underneath, it's a recipe for disaster. Lovely grand-daughter got a notice that a MODOT vehicle had slid off the road. I 44 closed. Grand-son-in-law decided to stay at the hospital all night where he works, which better than risking a drive back and forth on the icy roads.

Easy Vegetable Soup Recipe

In a large crock-pot:
1 -32  oz bottle.of V-8 juice
1 -16 oz can of the following veggies: (This is quick and easy. If you want fresh brave the storm and go buy some fresh veggies-good luck. I use no salt canned veggies but regular is ok-it's cold for crying out loud!)
16 oz corn
16 oz mixed veggies
16 oz green beans
16 oz peas
16 oz black beans
1 large onion diced -  red or yellow
6 small potatoes diced (yukon gold or red is great), 
or 3 Large Idaho diced
2 cup Salsa (your favorite-Mild, Medium or Hot your choice)
1 small can of diced Hatch green chiles
2 diced jalapenos (you can leave this out if it's too spicy)
16 oz grass fed beef (or lean hamburger cooked and drained)
Spices:
All to taste. I'm a dump and pour cook. I've been cooking for 40+ years and I make it up as I go. 
Mrs. Dash Onion Herb- yummy
Pepper- more the merrier especially on cold days-to taste
Dash salt -to taste
Dried Parsley- lots. need vitamin C
Paprika (Hungarian is really good)
Dump everything in the Crock Pot. Let it simmer on High for 2 hours or medium for 4 hours. Depends on what you are doing. Stir every once in a while.
Calories -about 245 a cup. You'll probably burn up 1000 calories trying to stay warm. 
It's almost all veggies. Leave out the meat and add an extra cup of black beans if you want vegetarian.
Serves 16 -  one cup servings
This recipe freezes great. Make a big batch. Wonderful to take for lunch.
