Spring Minestrone
I’m sitting in 30+ degree heat in my little apartment, fighting with my cat for the prime seat in front of the fan. Ok so I realize 30 degrees probably isn’t so hot for a lot of people, but in Vancouver, it’s hot. I’m dreaming of cooler weather and that has brought me back to some recipes I made back in the spring, but neglected to blog about.
The Spring Minestrone soup recipe was nice and fresh with in season greens. I’m not going to think much about the whole “hot soup” part right now, since soup is one of the last things I’d consider having, but needless to say, it was welcome all those months ago.
The recipe was easy to follow and felt very wholesome to eat – brown rice, lightly steamed bright green asparagus, snow peas and shelled peas with just enough added flavour from some garlic and shallots. Nice and simple, filling and delicious.
