This is my personal favorite soup and the one my mother made the most as it was simple. The ingredients were almost always available in the pantry, as well as it was quick to make. The broth without paprika is insipid. I call this “paprika vegetable” as it’s no ordinary vegetable soup. It can be…

Menu October 20 week for the Aging-Elderly

I had already worked out the recipe in my head, then cross referenced Lidia and Marcella just to be sure I hadn’t missed…
