Bonita’s Tips:
Frying onions before helps to add more flavour and your are sure the onions are cooked.
Peeling and soaking veggies before and letting it sit for a while removes starch from potatoes and cleans veggies good.

That sounds wonderful Mary, having your own turkey broth sounds amazing. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy to the fullest….:) Bonita
Would a can of Cream of chicken soup work in place of the homemade cream sauce? Thanks…
Hi Fran thank you for your message and for stopping by, I’m sure that will work great and enjoy the fullest. Happy New Year 🙂 Bonita
I just watched your video , Sweet Molasses Rasins Bread and I want to make it, but it hurts me to knead bread, may I use a kitchen aid machine to do the work for me.. It’s because I have only one arm that works.
Hi Norma: Thank you for stopping by and I’m so glad you are looking to make our sweet bread recipe, you can use your kitchen aid to mix the dough and then transfer it to a bowl or your counter to rise and knead down. Kneading the dough is not very long only folding and pulling the dough inward. That should be not as hard for your hands, but mixing would be hard.Maybe the first kneading you can leave in the kitchen aid to knead but the second one remove from the kitchen aid, because you need to keep the AIR in the dough to cut pieces of for the pans. I hope this helps and enjoy 🙂 Happy New Year! Bonita
Hi Bonita! Loved your turkey soup! I was wondering if/how this soup can be frozen. Thanks, Janet
