SOUP'S ON!

10/11/19 — Ada Broussard

In case you missed it, which we’re sure you didn’t, there are big, breezy, and cool things happening this weekend in Central Texas. Temperatures are about to dip, and the fall that we’ve been yearning for is coming. The time has come! Pull out those stock pots, maybe your pair of slippers, and as well as that “winter coats” box from the back of the closet. Hot tea, warm fires, and slowly simmered soups. It’s time! Well, maybe we’re a little over-eager at the farm, but the prospect of a sweater and a warm bowl of nourishment has us tingling with fall excitement. And plus - most of us work outside. If you didn’t notice, it’s been brutal. A day in the fields with a cool breeze at our backs? Soup’s on!

But first, a quick sidebar: we wanted to draw your attention to the upcoming Austin Fermentation Festival happening at the Mueller Farmers’ Market on Sunday, October 20th. Whether you’re a practiced pickler or someone who is curious about the benefits of fermentation , this is an amazing (and free) event. There will be workshops focused on fermented foods and fermenting processes, as well as an expanded farmers’ market featuring local fermented products. We are even selling a Fermentation Kit ($20) - a curated box of our vegetables with accompanying recipes perfectly suited for your fermentation projects. (If you’d like to pre-order a Fermentation Kit, just email Faith at farm@jbgorganic.com).

Okay, now for the soup. All of the recipes below were written and developed by JBG CSA members, created specifically to utilize the produce in fall and winter CSA boxes. These recipes, along with plenty of others, live in the JBG Recipe Archive. Happy Simmering! Please shoot us a line if you have a favorite soup that you think is missing from this list… we’d love to add it to our archive!
