Hot Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Soup
This is the basic recipe for the Hot Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Soup that was served at the October 22, 2008 OSFM Harvest Bowl Soup Supper. (recipe provided by Irwin & Susan Seidman of Susan’s Market Meat Pies & Loafology)
Now I don’t want anyone to think that I am intentionally leaving things out, but the truth is, this was one of those “off the top” recipes, and I didn’t keep notes. The list of ingredients below should be very close … you may want to play around with salt and pepper to taste and might want to increase or decrease the chili peppers depending on the “heat” level you are looking for.

Hearty Crock Pot Bison Soup
The Hearty Crock Pot Bison Soup recipe comes from www.bisonbasics.com and was prepared by Susan Forrest of Stoney Keppel Bison, for the 2008 OSFM Harvest Bowl Soup Supper.
All you need for this recipe is a crock pot (minimum capacity of 4 ½ quarts), and 20 minutes in the morning.
The soup will be ready to serve 10 minutes after you get home from a day’s work. This is a very economical way to prepare bison, and a great way to introduce it to first-timers. Served with cheese, bread/crackers, or veggie sticks on the side, this recipe will feed at least 6 hungry people for dinner. Read full article>>

Market Past
It is difficult with precision to ascertain where or when the initial Owen Sound Farmers’ Market began. There exists a number of references in the early history of Owen Sound to a “Market Square”. One of these was at the site of Boyds Wharf, (where the current Bayshore Arena is sited) and another was beside the courthouse (current old courthouse). Yet another places the market in its current location prior to any building for its specific use. These differences may reflect the changes occurring as the newly established community grew and evolved. Read full article>>
