Relocate to Wisconsin : A Thanksgiving Tradition.......Mmmmmmmm Good !

I am not really a turkey fan....and traditionally prepare a leg of lamb for those of us who want something else to be thankful to eat.  The table is always decked with every kind of vegetable besides the traditional mashed potatoes....cauliflower, broccoli, squash, roasted red peppers....brussel sprouts...asparagus...ust whatever looks good....and my Mother always says I cook enough for the four county area...and that is probably true.  At our Thanksgiving table there are always the people who are newly divorced, have family too far away or no family at all...everyone is welcome and no one ever leaves without a bag of leftovers and a satisfied appetite.        We always have leftover vegetables which I usually serve steamed. The next day, after spending the night "under wraps"....plastic wraps...in the fridge....the vegetables all jump into the blender....until they are smoothly blended into soup....choose to add cream to thicken or broth to thin....take a taste and add more of another vegetable or some dill, chives, or just warm it and decorate with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika, chives, parsley...whatever works for you. It's Thanksgiving Soup and it tastes different every time depending on what was left over and how much....it's a tradition....one we are now sharing with our AR family and anyone reading this blog....welcome to a Hanson Thanksgiving tradition...it's mmmmmm sooooo good ! Have a Happy Everyone !
