The family has been fighting a bit of a cold – the first of the season for us.
So, for dinner I wanted to make something warm and healthy. Restorative Roasted Garlic Soup is exactly what we needed. I used this recipe, given to me by a dear friend and wonderful cook. She made a few changes to the recipe, and I only changed the broth base from vegetable broth to chicken because that’s what was in my freezer. So the modified recipe is:
3 heads of roasted garlic ( i used 2 large heads)
8 cups of broth (I used chicken, but vegetable is very good)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
juice from 1 or 2 limes added at the end
and then served up with slices of avocado and toasted corn tortilla strips – because that’s what I had
But just soup didn’t look quite substantial enough for tonight. So I added some meatballs (I love this recipe!) that I had in the freezer to enjoy along with some Butternut Squash Fries. My house smells very fall-ish.
And, I even had a chance to sort through the little girls’ clothes and switch out warm weather wear for cool weather wear this afternoon. I’m feeling quite smug with my accomplishments for the day.
