Hot Creamy Green

 ANOTHER one of my green soup VARIATIONS...

This seems to be my GO-TO lunch these days...

 Whatever I've got KICKIN' around...I blend up & YOU CAN TOO!!

And...there's NOT even any CREAM in this...
That's a BONUS if you are lactose intolerant...

I love the NATURAL flavours of the veggies so I don't even see the need for "BROTH".
Just good ole SALT & PEPPER for me!!

 

 So here's what ya need TODAY...

 

 

Super Duper Spinach Leaves 

(Have you ever seen one THIS BIG??)

(It's BIGGER than my HAND!!)  

 

 

Scrumptiously Steamed Brocali 

 

  

Lovely Lacinto Kale Leaves

 

 

 Boiled Yukon Gold Minis with Skin

 

 

In the Blender

It's just soooo darn GOOD!!!!

In the Bowl

Hot Creamy Green

(2 servings)

 

1 cup potatoes with skin boiled or any kind of leftover potatoes (not French fries)

2 handfuls spinach

1 cup steamed brocali

6 - 8  sautéed lacinto kale leaves

1 cup water

salt and pepper

 crispy bacon for garnish (leftovers)

Blend it all up!

Perfect Pumpkin Soup

Whenever I bake my PUMPKIN chocolate chip MUFFINS or my triple chocolate PUMPKIN PIE...

I ALWAYS have LEFTOVER pumpkin. 

It never fails...

Seriously.

Open up my fridge and chances are you will find a little glass dish FULL of the extra pumpkin...

Sometimes...you'll even find TWO dishes....

WHAT is that about?

WHY do they give you the extra cup?

 

Maybe it's ME...

BUT...

I have NEVER come across a recipe that uses the WHOLE can....

 

So I started putting some in my smoothies...which was DELISH...

..... But there HAD to be something ELSE I could do with it..... 

 

Well.....

I though to myself....

HELLO????

We are into the deepness of WINTER....

Let's make SOUP!!!!

 

So...

Here's the ANSWER for the extra pumpkin puree.....

  

 

 In the BLENDER:
