Tasty Tuesday – It’s Definitely A Soup Day!

I bought a dutch oven recently and I love it!  I use it all the time!

I bought it initially to bake sour dough.  

Once Taylor Swift started talking about her new obsession with sour dough, I thought I would give it a try.

It’s a lot more complicated than I expected.  My starter never got started, (smile) so Sarah Woodley helped me out.  She gave me a starter to get me going.

It’s still alive and I’m still learning, but I’m getting better.  I have dough ready to bake as we speak.  Fingers crossed this one is edible. (smile) I struggle with patience sometimes.  I want to learn how to do it, but wish I wasn’t so terrible at the learning part.

I’m also learning to use my dutch oven for my soups and stews!

Today I’m in the process of making a yummy minestrone.  Super easy and fairly inexpensive too.  I chopped up my veggies this morning and sauteed them in the pot, so tonight all I have to do is put the remaining ingredients together when I get home.  Super easy.

I’m sharing the recipe I use just in case you want to make something to warm up your bones too!

It’s super tasty and pretty easy to make.
