Recipe Tuesday!

I am on Weight Watchers so I’m always looking for healthy filling meals. This is my potato soup recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Goodwife Farm’s Potato Soup

  • 1 cup potatoes, diced but not peeled
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup broccoli (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 cups water
  • dash of salt
  • 1/2 cup goat milk

Add potatoes, onion, water and salt to pan. If using fresh broccoli, add it now. Boil rapidly until potatoes are tender. Don’t drain as alot of your water will boil off in the cooking process, . Add milk and broccoli (if using frozen) and simmer until thickened and heated through. Serve!

This is really quite yummy. I use either fresh milk or surplus milk that I’ve canned. This is a nice bowl of soup for one person. You can double or triple your ingredients to make as much as you need!

Till next time…………GOD BLESS FROM GOODWIFE FARM!

Hello from Illinois!

Hi there Kinder Communique’ readers! My name is Sarah Paintiff and I live in beautiful Southern Illinois about 45 minutes north of St. Louis Missouri. I am privileged to be the first featured breeder/blogger for the KGBA. I am very excited and honored to be asked to do this. Here’s a bit of information about us!
We live on a small homestead that we call Goodwife Farm. We raise Kinder goats for milk and meat, rabbits for meat, and chickens for meat and eggs. We plant a nice big garden every year and I can as much as possible. We will be building a small catfish pond within the next two years so that we can stock our freezer with fresh fish as well. We also have a root cellar in the plans for the next two or three years to make storing all of that yummy produce a bit easier.
I got my start in Kinder goats from a fabulous lady named Rhonda Daniels of Faith Farm in Rochester IL. Rhonda is an amazing woman and has become a valued friend and mentor to me. She helps me out in all things goatish, not to mention the perils and pitfalls of general life! My first foray into Kinders was with Faith Farm’s Tulip and Faith Farm’s Jett. I no longer have Jett, but I’ll never part with my girl Tulip! After getting the hang of, and falling in love with these wonderful animals, I decided that I wanted a registered goat so I turned once again to Rhonda for advice. She contacted Lisa and Craig Lamm of Tickleweed Hill Farm where I purchased Tickleweed Hill’s Naomi, my first registered Kinder. Naomi’s dam was actually featured in the KGBA newsletter a few years ago, because of giving birth to 6 live kids! Naomi is due for her first freshening in March, and I’m really hoping that we only have twins or triplets! Naomi’s breeding is strictly Bramble Patch Kinder, as is my second registered goat, Bramble Patch Kinder Famous, or Luke as we call him. Luke and Naomi will be the start of my registered herd and I’ve got high hopes for their babies.
