At lunch on Christmas this year I was feeling a little the worse for the rich food I was eating, so I made up this soup.
We all enjoyed it immensely, and here is the recipe:
Olive oil
2 small onions
1 potato
2 medium carrots
1 parsnip
1 head cauliflower
2 bay leaves
pinch dried rosemary
pinch saffron
salt
pepper
4 cups vegetable stock
2 cups cooked navy beans (1 can rinsed and drained)
Dice the onion. Heat olive oil in soup pot and add onion to soften. Continue chopping potato, carrots, parsnip, and cauliflower, adding them to the pot as you go and stirring occasionally. Add bay leaves, rosemary, and saffron. Continue sauteing vegetables for 10 minutes more.
Add stock (if you don’t have quite enough stock to cover the vegetables add some water too). Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove bay leaves and puree. Add beans. Heat through. Season to taste.

- A lazy weekendSince I don’t have any knitting deadlines, I have been spending some time doing other projects that I have been thinking about for a while. Here is a tea towel I hemmed last weekend: My Granny gave the linen toweling to me years ago. I hemmed all the blue cloth then, but I still had this [...] […]
- On soul searchingI have spent time over the last few months thinking about my knitting design, and I am just not sure I want to do this anymore. I have a job, and I want to have a life outside work, and knitting has begun to feel like more work to me. There is so much support required [...] […]
- Inside Crochet, Issue 7 is out!And with it my Lace cardigan pattern (Ravelry link here): And I even made the cover — it just doesn’t get any more gratifying than that. It really doesn’t. This is my first crochet pattern, and now that it has all worked out okay I can admit it, the first thing I have crocheted in almost [...] […]
