Recipe Of The Week: Chili Soup

Chili Soup

3 pounds of hamburger2 cups of chopped onions
1 cup of barley four
2 1/2 quarts of tomato juice
1 19 ounce can of kidney beans
1 Tablespoon of cumin
2 Tablespoons of chili powder3 teaspoons of salt
1 Tablespoon of taco seasoning
2 teaspoons of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper 1/2 cup of sorghum molasses

Fry and chop hamburger is a 6 quart kettle, and onions and fry a little longer. Sprinkle barley flour over this and stir with a spoon to mix. Add tomato juice and turn on high, stirring frequently until it thickens and boils. Reduce heat, adding the rest of the ingredients. Simmer on low for one hour to develop the flavor. Stir occasionally.

Optional: If you like sweeter chili soup, add 1/4 cup sucanat. If you love fiery soup, add red pepper. This makes five quarts of nice thick soup.

Had to look up sucanat...is a brand name for a variety of whole cane sugar.

In The Beginning

Andy and Lizzie have known each other since they were very small. Growing up in an Amish community there are plenty of opportunities to play and work together. They grew up in the same church but went to different schools. Several years ago they moved from Wayne County, OH to right outside Hillsboro, OH and established Cedarmore Farm. The farm got it's name very simply...in Wayne County there were very few cedar or sycamore trees . When Andy and Lizzie got here, they noticed an abundance of cedar and sycamore trees on the land. So they just merged the two names and Cedarmore Farm was born. They have worked very hard in the few years that they have been farming the land. Andy and Lizzie are in the process of building their house and hopefully they will be able to move into the upstairs this spring. We can only see good things in their future farming experiences. And we wish them well.

Not only is Cedarmore growing fruits and vegetables. The Andy's have a growing family. They have four of the most precious children! Anna, who is excited about going to school this fall. Dennis who follows Andy around like his shadow. Moses who is doing well after a little run-in with the pigs. And Lovina who is the youngest at 9 months.

Then there is a new season on the farm. In the winter (Jan 2015), the Andy's packed up and moved to MO leaving the CSA in the most capable hands of John and Anna (Anna is Andy's twin sister) Zook and there 7 children. They changed the name of their farm to Cedarmore Farm so we English wouldn't be too confused. So the work has begun to provide lush healthy vegetables for the CSA season 2015 which begins in May.
