Epicurean Kentuckian: Vegetable beef soup 2016-12-30 - Country Tyme Restaurant, 2517 Summer Shade Road, Summer Shade, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). The soup was purchased as a single take out, but turned out so surprisingly perfect a second cup was ordered to go and owner Brenda Crumpton graciously brought out a bowl for this cellphone photo. The Frank's is there just for comfort. No condiments were needed or added. Don't remember the exact price, but it was roughly $8 for two servings. - EW.
