happy Monday fellow soupers ...
BUT before we get ahead of ourselves, I thought we'd best talk "Must Haves" for the kitchen ...
- Lovely large pot for simmering soup (here’s your chance to justify that Le Creuset you’ve been coveting … my groom bought me one for my 50th birthday and it has improved my cooking immensely)
- A beautiful apron (mine came from the sale room of Anthropologie) -- some soups can be a bit splashy
- Veggie peeler
- Sharp chef’s knife for chopping
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A large chopping board
- Soup ladle (I’m still looking for the perfect one ... my Mom has a lovely hand-carved wooden one that almost found it's way into my suitcase at Christmas)
- Colander
- The freshest possible herbs
- Something to blend soup--my immersion blender works wonders for churning the soup but, if you don’t have one, you can use a blender or food processor for pureeing
- The new Nissan Leaf for jetting back and forth from the grocery store economically (ok this one is a bit of a stretch but I do have another birthday coming up and a girl can dream while she's in the kitchen can't she)
