The produce washing area on the farm. May 2015 |
It takes some planning to make sure all the fresh veggies are being used. And now that the temperature is finally cooling down and it feels like October, soups are starting to sound really good. This is a great tasting recipe and I sometimes have it over a baked potato or rice.

What I also like about this recipe is what is not from the garden is most likely on the pantry shelf. No extra shopping needed.
