On my stove simmering at a very low temp is a truly amazing sight and the smell.. yum!
A big bowl of ripe from the garden tomato’s, mostly roma but some cherry, some heritage small tomato’s, all tip off and otherwise just cut into half or quarters and into the pot, a couple big onions roughly diceds, fresh multi-colored carrots, green peppers, rich dark heavy fall green beans, and half a seeded out zucchini.. salt, pepper, and some seasoning salts.. A pint of Beef bone broth..
The question now is where to go from here.. A fresh veggie homemade soup? Add in cabbage, small potota’s and sauasages for a heavy meal soup, or cook up a pound of hamburger, add in some chili spice and a big old jar of canned baked beans?
So I will let you vote!
1) Veggie Soup
2) German Sausage Fall Soup
3) Homemamde Chili with fall veggies and our own homegrown beef






Number 2 sounds great. Especially on this brisk fall day.
Number 1 and serve the sausage on the side and the leftovers can be used as a different kind of soup.
I’d go with #2 — in honour of Oktoberfest
They will all be delicious.
Chilli is always “top dog” over soup around here (I’m out-numbered, two to one; )
So, tell me, did you happen to keep track of how many kinds of toms you got from here; like, did you get any of these weird-looking combos too? It may be that they were all the (still unnamed, sorry): heritage cherry from two years ago. But, there are some in another garden just a few feet away that are the Heritage Cherry x Roma (from two years ago) and also an Orange Cherry type that came true from last year’s patio pots… Genetics and happy bees – what a great combination, eh?
I think they all sound delish!
Veggie soup!
As a matter of fact, I just put a load of it in the canner myself!
