Winter Garden Soup
Right before our recent ice storm, I gathered some greens from our winter garden. I decided that the perfect thing to make with my small harvest would be some wonderful Winter Garden Soup, which is one of my favorite soups. I had gathered some kale, and cabbage from the garden, then I added some onions, potatoes and some of the canned stewed tomatoes that I had canned last summer. Of course I added some seasons that we love in our soup. It was a delicious soup and we were able to really enjoy the harvest of our winter garden.
