Now I’m jonesing for fresh fruit and veggies to make cold chilled soups

Hello every one

Thanks for stopping by today to talk about this variation on a popular soup. Usually made with broccoli and chedder cheese, but I decided to use  pepper jack cheese in the soup today No reason other than I didn’t have chedder cheese, but I did have pepper jack chese.cheese.

I usually  think hot creamy soups is a winter time fare …with the temperature onlyi in the mid-40s rs May it’s already. I  decided that this  could be the  last  hurrah  for hot soup this year . Strange weather…. I had chive flowers at the same time thats why I used them as garnishment.

Now I’m jonesing for fresh fruit and veggie of the summer to make cold chilled soups. I’ve started a ton of veggie in the new raised beds this year. I know it will be least a month or two before I harvest anything , but I’m really impatient . I see lots of farmer’s markets in my future.
