Brenda and Eileen's Hamburger Soup

Basically you brown the hamburger, for a small batch I use 1/2 pound or so, then add potatoes cubed small, and cut up cabbage. Add water until it's covered plus extra because some boils away. Cook until the potatoes are about tender then add a handful of noodles and cook 10 more minutes. Season with lots of pepper, and salt to taste. Eat with saltine crackers!

Pam's Clam Chowder

From Pamela Gaines

It's really quite simple;

What we do is cut bacon into bite size pieces, add onion and cook until brown. Add seasoning such as garlic powder (or use fresh garlic) either way works, seasoning salt, salt and pepper.

Cut and dice approximately 4 - 6 medium sized potatoes, add enough water to cover potatoes, and cook.

First you need to let the water come to a boil, then lower temperature to medium or low heat.About 20 minutes before potatoes are done, add clams (either canned or from a 6 oz can drained), also about a cup of milk, (enough to make white appearance of soup) and about 2 tbsps of butter or margarine. Cook until heated clear through and potatoes are done. Serve with crackers or whatever you want. This is also a good food for infants over 6 months. Recently I made this soup and had my son, his wife, and their two girls over. The youngest one was about 10 months old, and she ate almost 2 full bowls (her size) of it, and enjoyed it very much.
