I love soup. I don't like the canned, artificial salty tasting soup though. I prefer to make my own.
Yesterday we went to the Asheville Farmers Market and the yellow and green squash was so much fresher looking than in the grocery store plus they were cheaper.
I decided to make a big pot of soup. I wanted to add beans this time instead of lentils. So I soaked the beans before going to bed last night.
I cut up vegetables and added them to the pot
Fresh carrots, zucchini and yellow squash, half of a large onion, 2 stalks of fresh celery, 3 cloves of garlic, a half a bag of spinach and a half of a cabbage.
I added the beans
And a box of Chicken broth plus a cup of water. I added garlic powder, a couple pinches of salt, 2 bay leaves, a handful of bouquet garni seasoning and some ground pepper.
Here's the soup bubbling away on the stove on low setting.
Today we went for a drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway in the fog and rain. This was at Tanbark Ridge Overlook Elevation 3175 feet. The fog was breathtaking. I could hardly stop taking pictures and videos.
We stopped at the Folk Art Center for a pit stop. There's a sign on the door saying No Photographs. As we walked through the store and saw all the unique and beautiful displays I wanted to take pictures so much.
So instead I am showing another fog picture. When our son came up to visit, he saw fog in the mountains and it looked like the mountain was on fire.
