blog: what i cooked this week

I wrote this blog from 2018-2020 to correspond with dishes I cooked at the St.Petersburg Saturday Morning Farmer's Market, to introduce market-goers to recipe ideas or foods they may not have worked with, and to feature in-season produce from our beautiful, local farmers.  I hope you continue to enjoy these recipes!

"Winter" in Florida: Carrot-Ginger Soup

2 Comments

Read Now
 
When you visit Florida, you want it to be hot and sunny.. But I feel like I wait all year here for a few days of cloudy, cool "winter" weather.  It's 65 and grey today, so I'm taking this opportunity to make Carrot-Ginger Soup, a nourishing and nutritious winter soup.  


Carrot-Ginger Soup

2 t vegetable oil
1 lb carrots, chopped
1-2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 large stalks of celery, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup ginger, grated
4 cups vegetable broth
pepper, to taste
(optional: parsley for garnish)

Heat the oil in a soup pot, add the onion and garlic, and cook until translucent.  Add the carrots, potato and celery, cook 10 minutes.  Add the vegetable broth, ginger and pepper, and simmer 20 minutes.  Puree with an immersion blender.  

Hint:  The longer this soup sits, the better it tastes.  Don't be surprised if it's even better the next day.

Max's knowledge of food kept me fed during a time of great need. She always knew what I needed to nourish my body during a challenging time in my life. Indebted to this Wise-Foodie Woman!
