Meat as a condiment - broccoli soup

Broccoli soup made with white beans, jack cheese,a tiny bit of chicken, beef and chicken stock and to give it some depth chipotle peppers.

Vegetable Pave ala Thomas Jefferson

Vegetable paves are easy and reheat well. I made mine with turnips, potatoes and collard greens and for something extra a layer of chicken just for flavoring. This is a good explanation of the concept.

lentil soup inside the box

I'm making soup for a neighbor's daughter who is recuperating from surgery...something light but tasty. I have bok choy, turnips, potatoes, garlic and tomatoes. I sauteed the turnips and potatoes in olive oil, same for the lentils...combined everything and added a two cups of water and some corn and put in the oven for 45 minutes. For a finish I added just a bit of cooked chicken as a condiment and heated it through.

I also made a caramelized onion, blue cheese and apple tart.
