April is here & the weather forecasters played a great joke on us! I for one am thankful that the “predicted” winter storm was a no-show! To celebrate the beginning of April and to help usher in the daffodils, tulips, forsythia & magnolias this weeks soups will feature some classic spring ingredients: eggs, local spinach & mint while still making use of some of the winters bounty.
As an aside I am in the process of trying to become a member of the Vermont Fresh Network so that I can partner with a local farmer or two in order to start offering more local ingredients! I will keep you posted on the progression.
Here are the soups….
