100% Homegrown Soup

100% Homegrown Soup was dinner last night. I had returned late the night before from a week away and the refrigerator was empty, but the garden was full.

100% Homegrown Soup - harvest
Morning harvest – September 19th

Being a 20-minute cook, soup seemed the easiest dinner to make. This is the first time I’ve made soup entirely from my homegrown produce.

First, I started with 2 pint jars of my canned tomatoes from 2014, and added a cup of filtered water to that. Here are the other ingredients which I added in this order:

Kaye’s 100% Homegrown Soup

2 pints canned tomatoes, plus 1 c. filtered water

2 sliced green onions

1 clove minced garlic

2 chopped sweet peppers: Aruba Hybrid & Sweet Apple

1 jalapeno medium chopped fine

2 large peppermint tomatoes diced

1 1/2 c. shelled Creams cowpeas

3 large chard stalks chopped, leaves removed

3 leaves Purple Ruffles Basil, loosely sliced

chard leaves loosely chopped

salt to taste

Add all ingredients to a 2 quart pot, stir, bring gently to a boil. Cook until all ingredients are added, plus about five minutes. Makes about 6 servings.
