It ’s been moth-eaten around these parts … and by inhuman , I mean it ’s hovering around 60 ° F .
I know , I know . I ’m a SoCal girl through and through .
But when the conditions lead off to turn and I lead off to second - shot become out of the menage in flip - flops , I cerebrate of soup . Rich , hearty , sticky soup .
This is one of those lazy - mean solar day formula when I desire a big bowlful of soup but do n’t want to work too hard at it . It ’s the easy thing in the cosmos to whip up ( short of rain cats and dogs one out of a can ) and it ’s utterly yummy . You get a nice Lucy in the sky with diamonds of green in your diet and you still experience satisfyingly full .
Even though I like to weaken it with some fatty strips of Baron Verulam ( my weakness ! ) this recipe can easy be turned into a vegan meal with vegetable broth and perhaps a chipotle chile or smoked saffron crocus for flavor .
