Today we welcome Cheryl Colwell to the Patchwork Quilt blog! Cheryl recently lost her home and belongings in the Glendower Oregon fire. She feels blessed that she has a place to stay for now. Cheryl has a new book, Astoria Rumors, and a recipe for us. Her recipes are all gone (lost in the fire) but her daughter had a copy of Cheryl's mom's favorite soup. I hope you will read on to find out how to purchase Cheryl's novel. (A great way to support her.) Also, I want to gift one of you with a e-book copy of Astoria Rumors. What you need to do is comment below. Comment with an answer to the question: Why do you think soup is a great comfort food?
TUSCAN SOUP by Marilyn Evans
Saute in olive oil:
3/4 onion
2 garlic cloves
Take casing off 1 kielbasa sausage, cut in 1/2 “ pieces, sauté in onions
Add:
#14 can crushed Italian tomatoes
1 C sliced carrots
6 Cups of beef broth
1/8 C Italian seasoning
(see below about ravioli)
Simmer 30 minutes.
Add: 2 sliced zucchinis
small bag of spinach
Simmer additional 30 minutes.
1 hour before serving, add: 1 bag ravioli.
The hunt takes her inside a decaying mansion and into conflict with Clayton Mercer, a town heavyweight and Greg’s enemy. Too late, she realizes that something insidious is lurking beneath Astoria’s idyllic façade. And that no one is who they claim to be.
About the Author From the Author I love to travel. I also love being home with family and friends, authentic conversations, the gifts of faith and writing, and people who are passionate about life. I invite my readers to stunning locations where they meet mysterious strangers and encounter unexpected danger. My suspense stories are inspired by history and museum finds from the places I visit. You’ll be kept guessing what is fact and what is fiction. And whodunnit.

Always looking for more things to do with zucchini! Thanks for a fun recipe and a fun read.
I love a good bowl of soup stuffed full with crackers while curled up with a good book, and Cheryl's book ASTORIA RUMORS is exactly that kind of book! I recently read it, looking forward to trying a new author for me in the Christian suspense genre, and I got more than I hoped for. Cheryl's faith in a God who walks alongside her through trying days shines through in ASTORIA RUMORS. I hope everyone tries this book!
Thanks for your support, Alice. This is a really delicious soup. Hope all enjoy it.
Best,
Cheryl
Oh, my, that recipe sounds great! I love hearty soups and can't wait till Autumn to begin again preparing them! Warm, nourishing, and appealing in looks! Thank you, Cheryl, for sharing this one! BTW, this book sounds good. Just my kind! :) Blessings to you and may God keep his hand on you as you recover from that devastating fire. Love to you!
This sounds like a perfect soup for a cold day. I'll need to wait a bit for Florida to cool down. LOL! Cheryl, your book sounds intriguing and I love the cover.
I look forward to the book.
Soup has always been a great comfort food when it’s cold or when one hasn’t been feeling well. I usually resort to Campbell’s but at least once during the winter I’ll make a huge pot of vegetable beef soup, but it’s never quite as good as my mother used to make.
