Getting a late start on blogging today. It is going to be one busy week. I’m most excited that my husband is going to build me a small garden in our back yard, so I can start growing some of my own produce! I will be getting a bit of a late start this year, but will hopefully be able to get some veggies in now and do some fall planting as well. I’m already thinking about what I want to plant early next spring. (Snow peas, here I come!)
I don’t remember exactly how I came across this recipe from Get Crocked for Zuppa Toscana. As soon as I read it, I immediately thought, “Leeks!” This soup has a really interesting flavor. I can’t wait to eat some of the leftover soup for lunch (even if it is supposed to be 90 degrees today.)
