I just made this for dinner tonight. The Spicy Honey loves tomato soup, but he usually prefers the kind in the can. However, he does enjoy this one. This is an incredibly simple and delicious soup. With summer on the horizon, this seems to work, even when the heat creeps into our bones. 
The Tuscans have their Ribollita. The Galicians have their Caldo Gallego. The Lisbonites have their Caldo Verde. And we, have this “Souppa”. Most cultures have some similar soup, a simple, nutritious, inexpensive and delicious soup or stew, using what’s on hand. This is peasant food, at its very best.
Parsnips are one of the things I always look forward to when autumn rolls around. Beef Barley Soup just isn’t as good without a parsnip. Neither is a good beef stew. I know it’s spring and it’s the end of the parsnip season, but think of these little discs of goodness as the last parsnip hurrah!
There’s Hasselback Potatoes, so why no carrots? These are a nice side, they can be partially prepared ahead of time and are pretty. Oh, yeah. Did I mention they’re also really delicious?
I do love to read The New York Times (NYT). And don’t get me started on their Sunday crossword. The Eldest Progeny and I tend to share that joy whenever he’s around, but every other Sunday, it’s mine. All mine.
