Week 20: more soup!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: soup is my favorite thing to cook. So easy. Last night I made a variation on this minestrone recipe. I left out the onion, zucchini, celery, and kale, and used turnips, more carrots, more leeks, and mizuna instead. I also added some basil, but left out the rest of the pesto. Why complicate things? I used to not be a fan of minestrone as a child, but I think that was largely due to my dislike of cooked celery and I very much enjoyed this one. S. wasn't a huge fan of the turnip flavor, so when I make this again I will leave those out. I have a feeling there will be fewer turnips in my life now that the CSA is over for the year...

I still haven't cooked the two pumpkins I have, but they made excellent Halloween decorations and I plan to use them this week.
