Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day and we went to NIACC for a gardening show. It was good, but I had to get ready for that so worked late Wed night and up early Thursday morning. Now have a little more time...so want to post a recipe that I made for the Annual St. Patrick's Soup Contest/Supper. I HAD won with this soup and it is really tasty. Reuben Soup a day later but still time to make it if you want to. In Iowa it will be cooler out so still soup weather. NOTE: Sorry to miss the annual soup St Patrick's Party. Our grandson Dylan was in a spring concert, so we went to St. Ansgar. Good job Mr. Dylan how you are growing up.
Story to tell about yesterday at NIACC. It was a gardening seminar. Being we are from Dougherty, I knew I had to give them something in honor of St. Patrick. So the day that I am an O'Litterer, we passed out little seed bags from Becky's Greenhouse in Lil'Ireland. They were called Rainbow seeds, which will grow lots of smiles when they are seen. It was so much fun to hand out to each one. At the end of this, I will tell you what the rainbow seeds were.
Creamy Reuben Soup
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. chopped celery
1/4 c. chopped green pepper
1/4 c. butter
2 Tbls. all purpose flour
1 c. beef broth
2 c. half and half cream
1/4 lb. sliced deli corned beef coarsely chopped
3/4 c sauerkraut rinsed and well drained
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. pepper 1 c. shredded Swiss cheese

The Rainbow Seeds were Skittles.

May you always walk in sunshine,
May you never want for more,
May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.
