Using up the last of summer’s bounty.

TasteArkansas Cream of banana pepper soup (c)nwafoodie AD

 

Some of you still have a trickling of your summer vegetable garden hanging on. I know, because I’ve seen your facebook photos showing them off. As you should! I love seeing your gardens, from the sophisticated pinterest-worthy layouts to the modest 4×4 raised garden that found its way to the one spot in the yard with just enough light to make magic happen.

The banana peppers are barely hanging on and their grip has just about called uncle. If you are one of the lucky ones with a bounty, may I suggest a cream of banana pepper soup? I shared the recipe recently on the TasteArkansas blog and it really is worth taking a look and a try.

Don’t have banana peppers? No worries! Substitute with celery, celery root, or turnips. It really is quite versatile.

Check out my recipe on TasteArkansas, here (sponsored link).

Oh, and I am curious. Are you still harvesting from summer’s bounty?

Color me jealous.

Happy souping.

Eat well, my friend. Eat well.

    We eat a lot of soups. They really are good for clearing out your stores!

      Yes, especially vegetable soup! We did that the other day with broccoli, corn, chicken, and broth. It was relish! Great to hear from you, Jennifer – it's been too long!

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
