The smell of herbs such as basil, rosemary, oregano, chives, mint and parsley are so uplifting to me.
Spring Break was also a time for celebration when our children would be off from school and we would take road trips.
For many of us, we do spring cleaning in our homes, closets and office spaces. Perhaps your kitchen or backyard are sacred spaces where you may want to begin creating a fresh new look and prepare for cooking and planting.
Today, I was walking through our commercial kitchen, where Goods from the Garden, Catering & Events creates the magic. Chef Charles was preparing a tomato basil soup. The aroma was so invigorating. The basil surrounded me with love and happiness. The smell of herbs such as basil, rosemary, oregano, chives, mint and parsley are so uplifting to me.
I knew I needed to share this recipe with you. In fact, this recipe will make a gallon and a half of soup. Keep some for yourself of course, however, I invite you to put together Ziploc quart-sized bags or jars of the fresh soup. This will then be available for you to enjoy as well as gift some to a friend, co worker or neighbor. They will be so appreciative to receive something so heartfelt that celebrates spring and kindness. Enjoy! QCBN
