This is a very mild but filling soup which comes out quite creamy. It’s the perfect compliment to a winter afternoon and keeps well in the freezer.
Menu: February
It’s so hard to keep up with menu when you don’t have the CSA pushing you along in my experience. Having a couple “dud” recipes also pretty disheartening and I’ve started a photo blogging project and have been avoiding taking picture of all my lovely food experiments. I’ve actually had 3 disappointments and only 2 recipes to share (neither with pictures). I’ve also been awful to completely awful with bentos but that is another story entirely. Also we’ll be in LA from Friday to next Monday so no meal plans then :3
Hopefully I’ll keep on top of it next week.
