against the wind...

today was a long one.  

i'm not even sure why. worn out and a bit deep down sad. 

i fell asleep at a stop light

after picking up roxie.  startled awake when someone

honked.  what's that about?  

i think i even drooled.  

sometimes just moving my hands, keeping them

busy can ward that kind of thing off so i 

made some soup and bread for supper. 

this soup is always just right, especially 

when the garden is full of kale.  the bread is 

 'everything bread'. 

i don't have exact amounts for the soup, but you can't

mess it up.  the pic above is all washed out

and misleading. 

it's actually rainbow bright.

Kale Soup

yellow onion, diced

couple serrano peppers, minced

2 Tbsp. garlic, minced

15 oz. diced tomatoes

potato; peeled, diced

sweet potato; peeled, diced

can cannelloni beans (or great northern) rinsed

1-2 bunches kale; stemmed, chopped

6-8 cups vegetable stock

parsley

3 tsp. italian seasoning

salt

saute onion, peppers, and garlic in olive oil.  add remaining ingredients and simmer until potatoes are tender. top with parmesan. 

i've added summer sausage and almost always add cheese tortellini the last 10 minutes.
