I made this powerhouse of a soup last night and it turned out so good! Minor modifications: used 1T dried basil instead of the suggested blend because that’s what I like, used fire roasted tomatoes because that’s what I had. Suggestion: buy whole leaf kale and de-stem. I used bagged/chopped and no amount of wilting will make the stems not chewy.
I’ve been looking for a Campbell’s soup thermos for a few months. Every once and awhile I’ll run across one, but it’s either too expensive or not in the greatest condition. I was so excited to find these very clean ones while shopping the east campus garage sales.
Now that the cooler weather has arrived, we’ve been doing a lot of picnic lunches. I had this idyllic vision of my daughter and I sitting on a blanket eating homemade soup and watching the leaves fall. In reality, she doesn’t like soup, so she eats her pb+j and I have an Amy’s burrito (which fits in the thermos perfectly, by the way).
thrifting: I find that just around the time I give up hope finding an item, the thrifty fairies drop one in my path.
