FORT LEE, Va. There's no question that commissary shoppers are some of the best cooks in the kitchen. That fact was proven, once again, at a recent "Soup-er Bowl" competition at the Fort Drum, N.Y., Commissary. Customers were encouraged to bring in their very best homemade soup for sampling and judging during a Family Night Out celebration. This week's recipe collection contains the top two winners — Rustic Potato Soup and Hearty Ham, Cheese and Bean Soup.
Make the commissary your source for your soup ingredients at great prices. Just for good measure, the collection is rounded out with soup recipes from other commissary shoppers. To check out the recipes mentioned here and more, come to Kay’s Kitchen.
Try any or all of them with confidence, because according to my taste, they�re all winners, too.
About DeCA: The Defense Commissary Agency operates a worldwide chain of commissaries providing groceries to military personnel, retirees and their families in a safe and secure shopping environment. Authorized patrons purchase items at cost plus a 5–percent surcharge, which covers the costs of building new commissaries and modernizing existing ones. Shoppers save an average of more than 30 percent on their purchases compared to commercial prices – savings amounting to thousands of dollars annually. A core military family support element, and a valued part of military pay and benefits, commissaries contribute to family readiness, enhance the quality of life for America’s military and their families, and help recruit and retain the best and brightest men and women to serve their country.
