They say that we are getting the coldest winter spell in 30 years.
Time to make soups!
my little backyard
We are snowed in so will have to make do with what is in the house. Andrea was smart enough to pick all the lettuce from the garden before the snowfall, so that is safe.
We will have to search out leftovers in the freezer, hoping that the electricity doesn’t go out. Was flasing on and off this morning. If it goes off we are also without heat.
I am feeling better, but still haven’t tried to do the stairs yet to head into the kitchen.
But as soon as I do—-
SOUP!!!
it is time to make my mother-in-law’s Minestrone!
Join me!!! It is a sort of clean the fridge soup!
Each mamma and each region have their own minestrone, some with pumpkin, various greens, with or without beans.
I adore them all.
Pretty!!!
Is that truly Tuscany? You have more snow than we have in Minnesota! (Warmest winter in decades). But I’ll still make Minestrone.
@claudia- yes– we just got hit last night– sun has finally come out– but are expecting more snow tonight!
Goodness gracious! Tuscany — hope you stay plenty warm. Love the picture of the window panes. My son lives in the Veneto in the Prosecco country — wonder if he has been dumped on…
@the Broad- not sure about venice– but torino was buried in snow– as is bologna and the hills above florence!
Wow, snow in Italy? I never realized it. Hope your leg is feeling better. Soup is always good when snowed in. xo
we were also snowed in last year– not to unusual– in 1985— it was long and hard and thousands of olive trees died in Tuscany
Feel better Judy! Been making soup here too and thinking of you when I do. Now to make that minestrone and clean my fridge out too. Thanks for the idea. Stay warm.
The snow is beautiful! And it was 60 degrees in New England today…but will still make soup…
Hi Judy – Just found your wonderful blog thru a link on the Letter Love class… can’t wait to search thru your past entries and follow some of your links. Sorry you have to deal with an injury plus all that snow! You must be getting all the snow we should have gotten here in New England – but it is cold so I think I will check out the minestrone recipe for some tummy love! feel better soon. Deb
And you could be teaching another cooking class here in Oregon where we are have low 50s right now.
Thank you! We will renew more useful information to you!
