Organic Vegetable Soup

The farmer went to pick up a wood splitter from,

James Harrison, a local organic vegetable farmer

and brought home a nice sampling of his

delicious and nutritious harvest!

Fresh picked kale and dragon kale,

purple and deep red potatoes,

purple, red, white and orange carrots,

some heads of the best garlic in the land,

a huge leek, onion, and pretty edible flowers.

Have you ever seen such beauty?

I've never tasted Dragon Kale.

Dark purple carrots and

solid red potatoes,

packed with vitamins

and nutrients.

Pretty edible flowers

and some of James' famous

juicy garlic!

This calls for a healthy energizing vegetable soup.

Just a quick picking of parsley, thyme and sage from

my herb garden and I'll be all set!

Wonder what colour this soup will be?

Saute an onion in a splash of Olive Oil,

add in 3-4 cloves crushed and chopped garlic,

add in some chopped carrots and 2 - 3 diced potatoes.

Add fresh or dried herbs and seasoning to taste.

Pour in 4 - 5 Cups of chicken or Vegetable broth

and simmer until vegetables are tender.

Chop and add in 3 Cups of Kale and cook

for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove a few cups of the soup and blend with

hand held blender if desired - add back into soup pot.

Serve with a wee garnish of chopped green onion and Enjoy!

That soup should give me enough energy to get out of my pjs and

help the farmer chop some wood - right!!?

BTW - the soup turned out to be a lovely
slightly lavender colour - so yummy!

Till next time ...... gathering some more kale recipes .... do you have a favourite one?
