  1. I've been dreaming up a green soup for awhile now but have yet to have a chance to do it...other ingredients seem to be distracting me, hah. This looks great, greens at their best! I notice you do a lot for Marcus Samuelsson. What exactly is the blog relationship there?

    Beautiful as always!

  13. Life DID hand me swiss chard (in my CSA basket) but not sorrel. I'm halfway there, though! I'm also running out of ideas for it, too, so thanks!

  14. Your soup looks beautiful!! I would have never thought of making Swiss chard soup but I'd love to try it. I've never heard of sorrel leaves. I'm gonna have to do some research to find out what that is. :)

  24. I love all kinds of creamy and clear soups. I don't like them loaded with veggies, I mean I like them like this, where I can drink my soup and don't have to eat it too, know what I mean?

  25. Never would have thought of this flavor combo - but hey, I'm diggin' it. Headin' over to Samuellson's blog now =)

  26. I tried a new food (for me) today: collards. They're GREAT. Now I have to add sorrel to the list of foods to try before I die! :)
