SO, before Jeff tooled off to work this AM, I went outside to give the Outdoor gang their breakfast and discovered it was delightfully COLD which inspired my dinner choice for this evening's dinner since it's my turn at bat. What did I choose? Navy bean soup, well my version, which is as follows:
Sautee onion, bacon and garlic together in a skillet. Add to Navy beans in crock pot that are already covered w/water. Then, this is strictly optional, but, because I like something
green in my soups, just because... I add baby Brussels sprouts. I cut off the bottom so that as it cooks it separates from the original floret and you have independent leaves and not a whole sprout. Season to taste. And, voila! Soup is served. Add buttered Italian bread slices (oven-toasted is my preference) and a glass of wine and you have a perfect dinner.
I love root vegetables! So, when spring, autumn and winter arrive I am one happy girl.
Today, I have to catch up on my family Shutterfly albums, reading, journal, TV shows I missed during the week and a half dozen other things...
This Kiss, Practical Magic
Whatever you decide to do today, enjoy!
A magnificent soup. Love in a crockpot. Thank you.
