November 1st Giveaway

It's high time for another giveaway and what better
gift to offer than my 2011 Calendar Tea Towel.
As always you have to do just a little bit of work for this.

My family are eating a great deal of vegetable soup these
days and I'd love to know whether you are too.

Please leave a comment below on your essential 3 vegetables,
minus the all important mirepoix (carrots, onion, celery),
that make your soup particularly yummy.
The winner will be randomly selected November 8th.

  12. Considering I was just making squash soup last night...I'd say onions, carrots never hurt, and a little peppery heat from chilies.

  30. kale is good. sausage is good. fennel is not good, but when you combine it with kale and sausage, the ingredients come together, three amigo-like, to form a taste sensation capable of freeing a mexican town from the clutches of thuggish overlords.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hmmm... excellent question - depends on my mood but usually mushrooms (not really a vegetable?) some kind of green (kale or spinach), corn (especially if it is fresh) and zucchini.
