Notes: Granny says....St. Odilia’s Catholic church would always feed the homeless on Sunday night. All parishioners were invited to help out with the meals. They had a menu of Stew, Rolls and butter, fresh fruit and cookies. So you could volunteer to furnish any of those items. I thought the stew sounded yummy so signed up for that....And you could go with the other church volunteers down to the men’s shelter to help serve it. So from time to time, I did make stew for them and just drop it off at the staging area, but one Sunday I was able to go with them and help serve. It was an eye opener. The men were all so grateful and they would thank us profusely. Some looked so sad and shabby. You could tell they had a hard, sad story to tell. I was glad I did it and wished I was able to do it more often. So the church gave us this recipe, as they wanted all the soup made the same, they would dump everyone’s soup together into a big pot and take it down to the center. Other churches had different menus and would serve other nights of the week. Very heart warming. Wonder if they still do this....this had to be back in the 80’s I think. So it is a very good recipe and I have made it often, we never seem to tire of it. Hope the homeless and hungry still get to taste it now and then.
