My friend is sick, so I made her some soup using the first harvest from the garden. Sauteed the onions and garlic in olive oil, added a little fresh grated turmeric, ginger, and cumin. Threw in the carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes along with a mix of vegetable and fish stock and let them simmer about 15 minutes. Added the greens and herbs), including chopped shiso, hyssop, and stinging nettle (all allegedly medicinal) and voila. A witches’ brew for better health. Tasty, too.
I’m glad I’m not sick but I wouldn’t mind a cup of your soup…
Usually medicinal and delicious don’t go together, but this was the best soup ever and it’s all I’ve eaten in 2 days! I’m feeling much better, thanks to Meryl’s soup alchemy!
Glad to hear it, Laurie. Think I’ll make some Watermelon rind gazpacho today and bring over some of that.
