Soup: a nice meal even in fairly hot end-of-summer weather. Monday’s soup was a white bean soup, for which I happened to have almost all of the ingredients. Although I went to the Farmers Market Saturday, we had eaten most of the produce I bought there. Those vegetables were just too good to resist. So I made soup from carrots, a potato, a can of white beans, celery seed, rosemary, a splash of wine, a squeeze of tomato paste from a tube, and some good stock (left from last week's onion soup). We had parmesan cheese to grate and a tomato and some fresh basil as a garnish. Tomorrow: another visit to a produce store.
I just love a thrown-together farmers market meal!
ReplyDeleteThat soup looks so good!!
ReplyDeleteA vegetarian delight. It's still too hot here for soup, but I'm going to copy the recipe. I'm old school and will soak my beans overnight and cook rather than buying a can of cooked beans.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great use of pantry ingredients with your fresh vegetables.
ReplyDeleteSoup is the perfect way to use left over veg Mai, I hate wasting food.. it must be my Scottish blood 😉
ReplyDeleteYum this looks so good. I can eat soup any time of the year.
ReplyDeleteMae,
ReplyDeleteIt's never too soon for soup for me. I love it all through the summer. Your simple vegetarian recipe sounds delicious.
I love soup year round no matter what the temperature. I eat hot dinners so soup is also welcome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe link.
I have been craving white bean soup lately--this looks fresh and delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe've been having lots of cold soup lately - gold borscht, cream of tomato, avocado, Gazpacho, etc. Soup is always a favorite! And good to have a decent Farmers Market available.
ReplyDeleteNice outline for farmer's market bean soup, thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis looks good! Some crusty bread and then there is a whole meal right there! Yum.
ReplyDeleteI like soup all year round!
