- Comments: Ritchie Wallace, in Maine, sent this recipe in - an Italianate beef-vegetable soup, credited to Bonnie Vawter (a pastor's wife) in Missouri, which she found years ago in a magazine. It's rich and substantial, perfect for an evening meal or possibly a pot luck. Ritchie - who lives in the woods of Maine with husband Tim, their great dane Gisburn, and two cats, Hillery and Tawanda - testifies which it helps "stave off the winter cool"...that got down to 19 below about the time she wrote.
