Abundance of Produce. Two Soups for Dinner.

January 16th, 2014 at 11:30 pm

We get local, organic produce delivered to us by two different companies. We get them once monthly. I try to set it up so that a box shows up every other week.. Well, things got screwy with the holidays and we recieved both our boxes on the same day.

Lots of produce!
(aka bounty of California agriculture)





Just the fruit...



The pears are AMAZING! Like candy. DS and I have already shared three this afternoon. Big Grin

I have several more butternut squashes from last month.
I am getting up right now to go make a big pot of butternut soup. I am also using my fabulous leftover pot roast and the DIVINE broth for a beef, veggie and barley soup.

I have sourdough bread to go with both. Can't wait - Yum!

    Yummy! I agree those pears look awesome. I'd eat one with you if I were there! Smile

    Beautiful! Even though I love what Minnesota is able to produce, I envy the year-round bounty you get. And the fruit! All we get in that area, typically, are a few tiny boxes of tiny strawberries in the spring, and some gorgeous melons in late summer. Once in a while they'll buy or trade a crop from a fruit farmer; we've gotten apples and these incredible table grapes once. But we still have to buy fruit at the supermarket every week even during the CSA delivery season.

    Did you know radish greens are good eatin'? We just finally figured that out this past summer, after about 5 years of CSA deliveries. Wink We ate a few other greens this year that we'd discarded before; I think it was kohlrabi and maybe one other.
