Winter Stew and Monday Encouragement

He will do just as much for us as we let Him do in us.

The power that saved us, washed us with His own blood,

filled us with might by His Spirit, kept us in manifold temptations,

will work for us, meeting every emergency,

every crisis, every circumstance, and every adversary.

AMEN!

Winter Stew

Lee Sauers, Mifflinburg, PA.

1 small head cabbage, chopped

4 medium onions, diced

4 medium potatoes, diced

1 28-ounce can tomatoes, diced

1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced

2 pounds Italian sausage, fried and drained

4 cups beef or chicken broth

2 cups V-8 vegetable juice

1 15-ounce can beans (kidney, black or pinto)

Salt to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large, oven-proof stew pot. Cover and bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours until tender, stirring occasionally. If necessary, add more broth or tomato juice. Serve with homemade bread or biscuits. Drizzle with vinegar if desired. This stew freezes beautifully.

* I put all the ingredients in my crock pot and set it on high for a couple hours. This soup is AMAZing! AND easy.

Happy Monday, Shanda
