Well, good afternoon from what seems like the North Pole!
On Monday I was visiting with one of our clients who is going to be on vacation in February, and I told him how since he was going to be gone then, he may just actually miss most of winter here in Kansas. My way of thinking goes that when I reach March, spring is just around the corner. The weather has been so seasonally warm that I have hardly worn a coat. If I could skip February in Kansas like my friend, then winter is downhill from here, baby! However, Mr. Winter must have wanted us both to remember what a delightful guy he is and that there are still plenty of days to unleash the cold north wind. In honor of Mr. Winter, I thought I would have soup tonight.
It has been so nice here that I had purchased some Flat Iron steak to grill (brilliant on my part, huh?). Anyway, I didn’t think that was a good idea today, so I pulled this soup recipe out of my “to try” stash and whipped it up. In thinking it was definitely a keeper in the ole recipe binder, I thought I would share it with you.
I used the Flat Iron steak, but you could probably use hamburger as well. Make a pot and see what you think – and enjoy the cold weather while it is here!
