I make lots of sustaining soups; beef 'shoom barley, veggie beef,
cabbage flanken, split pea ham, etc. Here's one of my famous soups,
smoked ham 15 bean, a 16 quart potful:

I rarely make large soups during warm weather but come fall I start up
my huge pots, some days I'll make two pots of different soup/stewp.
But during warm weatehr I'll ofen make like a six quart pot with left
overs, right now I have two left over grilled pork chops in the fridge
from the six I cooked (was a BOGO), and lots of yellow squash from my
garden, I have carrots, potatoes, celery, garlic, and all that's left
is to choose a bag of dried beans, I've got just about every kind
there is, and I developed an appetite because yesterday I brush hogged
my entire wildflower meadow, so for me that's a sign of fall:

Who says they can't buy good pork chops, they don't come better than
these, but somehow two were left over so they will become soup:
