GRANNY'S OKRA SOUP
A delicious beef and vegetable soup that is a variation on the okra and tomato-based soup my great-grandmother used to make on the farm in Alabama. It's great with fresh or canned veggies, works with just about any alterations - I use fresh, locally-grown ingredients and it's always amazing. All ingredient measurements are approximate. The important thing about Granny's okra soup is that the tomato is the main ingredient, but okra, lima beans and potatoes are important too. Adding or subtracting other vegetables to taste or based on availability is perfectly acceptable.

Steps:
- Combine tomatoes, lima beans, okra, potatoes, corn, green beans, carrots, and tomato paste in a large soup pot. Pour chicken stock over mixture and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables begin to soften, about 15 minutes.
- Season ground beef with garlic powder, celery salt, and onion powder. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic when butter stops bubbling; cook and stir for 1 minute. Spread ground beef evenly in the pan. Cook until it has a nice brown sear, stirring minimally to end up with mostly medium-sized chunks, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain skillet and add beef, onions, and garlic to the soup pot.
- Bring soup mixture to a boil; reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables and beef have cooked down, 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:
- Chop off the ends of the okra and thinly slice the pods crosswise into small rounds.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the onions until they start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir in the tomatoes and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- When the tomato juices start to boil, add 1/2 cup water. Heat to boiling, stirring, and add the bouillon cube. Stir and mash it until it dissolves. Add 1 1/2 cups water and heat to boiling. Add the okra and cinnamon sticks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the okra seeds turn brown, about 10 minutes. Add more water if the soup becomes too thick. The total cooking time should be about 20 to 25 minutes.

EASY GUMBO (OKRA SOUP)
This is not your typical Southern gumbo. The inspiration comes from somewhere else. There are different variations of the same kind of food all over the world. This one is inspired by West African okra soup, but is also closer to the Southern gumbo variation. Serve with polenta, semolina, or even rice.
