I <3 Soup!
Especially warm, filling comfort soup.
I had half a bag of 15 bean soup that had been in my cupboard for over a year and in the spirt of the Thanksgiving challenge I decided it had to be on the menu for dinner tonight.
The dried beans soaked in a can of a Vegetable Broth with an array of spices while I was at work all day. When I returned home I sauteed a small onion, garlic, kale, and the last of my Boccalone Salami from my Foodbuzz Festival swag bag. Once the onions were soft I added the beans and another can of vegetable broth to the pot. I brought everything to a boil for 5 minutes, then let it simmer for another 90.
The results were very rich and satisfying. Yum!
On the side I had a piece of reheated cornbread that I pulled from the freezer.
Dessert was 1/2 of one of Amanda’s Peanut Butter Cup Blondie with some Coconut Milk Chocolate Ice Cream.
All I have in the fridge at the moment is chocolate ice cream – not my favorite. I can’t wait to buy a container of Peppermint Ice Cream in the very near future. 😉
This afternoon I had a serving of Blueberry Granola Clusters as a snack.
More Packing…
I am not leaving for my parent’s until Wednesday, but I am already preparing for the 4 day trip. This afternoon I emptied out my suite case from this past weekend and have begun filling it for the next. I feel like I am living out of my suit case at the moment, but its all been worth it.
Are you traveling at all for Thanksgiving this week?
Don’t forget to get your votes in!! 🙂
