Autumn Harvest Cabbage Roll Soup! – by Margaret, Viking, Alberta

Welcome back! Subscribe to enter the soup draw, offered several times per year.

Margaret had a great idea for using up Easter leftovers in our Autumn Harvest soup. We just had to share it with you! Margaret says,

I always buy the Autumn Harvest at Easter as it is amazing with my leftover turkey broth and chunks. This time I had about 10 cabbage rolls from our Easter dinner that needed to be used up. I cooked the Autumn Harvest with a no-salt turkey broth. Here’s how I finished it:

In the last 1/2 hour of remaining cooking time, add:

  • finely chopped cabbage rolls
  • 1 cup of chunked -up turkey
  • 1/2 cup of salsa
  • 1/2 cup of sauerkraut

It was absolutely wonderful, with absolutely no effort. I LOVE your soup!

Thanks a million, Margaret!

Lentil Lovers, or pilaf! – recipe by Jennifer, Edmonton, Alberta

Jennifer told us:

I miss-read the directions for the stove-top method and cooked Lentil Lovers on the stove with 8 cups of water instead of 10. After 2 hours it was fairly thick but I wanted to add 1 cup of brown rice. I then lightly simmered it for an additional 45 minutes…guess what I got? A beautiful thick lentil and rice pilaf. I couldn’t believe it – it was wonderful as a side dish! If you’ve never tried this, I highly recommend it! Fantastic and very yummy!

Thanks for sharing your fortunate mishap with us, Jennifer!
