Yummy Garden Soup!


Hi Everyone and hope you are warm and cozy wherever you are! The weather across the U.S. seems to be quite cold, especially in Minnesota where I heard that the wind chill is minus 30!! That is cold! Here in Florida, it is in the low 70's and absolutely gorgeous. We will be in the 50's tonight, but tomorrow will just be a nice 70. 
I harvested some veggies from the garden and decided to make some nice veg soup today.
In the soup, and from my garden, I added eggplant, broccoli, tomatoes, cabbage, green pepper and arugula.
Below is a photo of one of my cabbages.Not the one I used....it was much bigger!

I also added some rich beef stock with chunks of beef roast that I had frozen for this purpose and some chicken stock as well. Then I put in plenty of other veggies, including potatoes, green beans, pinto beans, fresh spinach leaves broken up, celery, sweet red peppers, carrots, and parsley. And of course, a bit of sea salt and pepper. It simmered a couple of hours and we had it for lunch. Oh, so good!!!



I really could have done with a larger bowl of this, but will let it sit in the fridge overnight and we all know that soup is always better the second day!
Looking forward to tomorrow!! Wish all my Minnesota friends could just beam themselves to Florida tomorrow for some hot soup....also my English and Northern Irish friends who are getting some snowy weather, too.  Maybe you, too, are making a big pot of soup wherever you are! Have a great day, Egretta

  1. Hi Egretta. The soup looks so hardy and warm and good. Weather here is mild. Supposed to hit 60 tomorrow. I can handle that. Though we do need moisture so badly.

  2. Your veggies and your soup look tasty! Can't beat soup this time of year. My slow cooker is used almost every weekend for soup making.

  4. Yep, soup and stew is definitely very appealing to us at present! I expect the Cotswolds are knee-deep in snow today.
