Soupy Swap Teaser

Since we know that not everyone could make it to the Relief Society Activity this month we didn't want to be stingy and keep all those yummy recipes to ourselves....TA DA...this is the first of many.

PS You might think twice about missing next month because I was just about brought to tears from laughter! I still can't help but laugh with I think about it...... :)

Cream of Spinach Soup

By Eva L Betancourt of Oak Cliff

 

1 bundle of Fresh Spinach

½ an Onion (small to medium)

2 Tbs. Butter

1 Tbs. Flour

½ Can of Evaporated Milk

1 Tbs. Powdered Chicken Bullion or to taste

* Extra: Parmesan Cheese or other cheese of choice

Wash the spinach thoroughly and boil it in water
While the spinach is boiling dice the onion and set aside
In a frying pan melt the butter over med high heat
Once the butter is melted add the onion and cook until onion is soft and semi translucent
Then add flour and cook until onion begins to brown (The onion will begin to give a sweet smell). Once brown/tan in color turn off heat

By now the spinach should be ready. Take the spinach out of the water in small portions and liquefy it in a blender. Include some of the onion mixture each time until everything is liquefied. (If too dry add some of the water that you used to boil the spinach)

Pour the liquefied spinach and onion in a pot over med heat. When it begins to boil, stir and allow the soup to thicken. Once it has thickened add the evaporated milk. Allow the soup to come to a boil again. If the soup it too thick for your liking you may add more water that you used to boil the spinach. Once you have found a consistency to your liking add the chicken bullion.

Lastly when serving the soup you can sprinkle some cheese on the top for added flavor but remember that it will also increase the level of salt.

The Giving Tree

The Giving Tree is back this year so Please bring your checkbooks and/or extra cash this Sunday. We only have TWO Sundays to collect the donations. So be on the look out for this magical tree. :)

 

For those of us...(myself included) that are new to the ward let me briefly explain what the Giving Tree is all about.

The Arlington 5th ward has chosen to give everyone an opportunity to help those in our area this Christmas by setting up a christmas tree filled with stockings. Inside those stockings you will see the an envelope with the donation amount labeled on the outside. Please take an envelope fill out the necessary information and return the envelope to a member of our Bishopric. Once the money is collected our Bishop and his counselors will prayerfully choose families that are in need of some help this Christmas season. We encourage everyone to give what they can.

The Checks/money MUST be turned in by DEC. 19th

“There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus the Christ.”

—President Thomas S. Monson
