I did a whole mess of grocery shopping before lunch. Ate lunch, prepped veggies, and concocted three different soups:
- a brothy veggie-bean soup with TVP and Old Bay Seasoning, so it has a somewhat seafood-y quality about it
- split pea soup with carrots and imitation beef flavoring
- sweet potato and carrot soup with peanuts and black beans, blended until not quite smooth
I’m excited! This means I can eat soup for lunch for the rest of the week and still have leftovers in the freezer. Yay!
Soup!
A friend of mine made two pots of soup ’round Hallowe’en. One was squash with savoury and the other was black bean. She put them side by side in the soup bowl, not mixed together. Said the sweet beside the spicy rich was a wicked good combo, the seasonal colours were a bonus 🙂
Yay for soup and freezer stock! None of my last four pots of soup or stew have made it to the freezer. I must need bigger pots.
