Soups on! The house smells amazing! It is cloudy. We have a break from our summer heat that is muggy and reaches 100 degrees. Don't get me started on heat index!
Our Great Dane mix is brought into the house to prevent heat exhaustion. We bring her in for frost warnings, too. She is in the house twice as much in summer than winter. Don't send hate mail. She is well fed, much loved, physically fit, big grassy yard to romp in, and has her own screened in porch with ceiling fan. There are humans who camp without as many luxuries! Did I mention she has her own pet? She bonded with my daughter's kitten. They play, each day, in my living room. Can we say spoiled puppy?
Speaking of spoiled, I am sad that the summer's crops are slowing down. Our local farmer's market shows a little less selection than the weeks before. I want to save some of the beautiful produce to savor in the coming months. The soup, sitting on the stove, is a celebration of what was fresh in the farmer's market. It will freeze well. My dutch oven is full of deliciousness. Enough soup for tonight's meal and a future meal. It will be a good memory when I pull the soup from the freezer.
Since, tonight's soup is a tiny bit of an experiment, I can't share it's recipe until it is perfected. I am teasing you with a photo. It is a blend of my two favorite recipes.
The one I can share is my source of inspiration in seasonings and V-8 Vegetable juice. The original recipe is from The Busy People's Slow Cooker Cook Book by Dawn Hall. It is full of flavor, vegetarian, and waist line friendly. I discovered it on one of my favorite web sites as recipe 247111 on Food.com, formerly Recipe Zaar
