Dean has a meeting here today and they have had homemade muffins and fresh fruit for breakfast and for lunch they will have soup ~ wonderful vegetable soup made from Farmers' Market bounty and other good things. I can make other soups and this one is so easy and has a wonderful history.
It has been taken to grieving families when something warm and nourishing sitting on the stove is just enough in spite of the abundance of other food that graces the tables. The morning our grandson was born, we stopped at the store for some ingredients and this soup became the sustenance for a laboring mom and her amazing mid-wife. (And for dad and grandmother too of course.) It has fed cast parties, friends having lunch, and folks gathered around the fire on cold winter evenings.
Usually it is a cool to cold weather dish and that makes today the perfect day to inaugurate its season. We have had lots of rain and today the sun is out, the temperature is warming, and although we will have lunch on the deck, it is still cool enough to make a big bowl of soup just the thing to see a busy bunch of folks through their afternoon session.
Yummy ~ and with blessings
