It's been a long time...

Oh hello. I remember you. Do you remember me?

Yes, it's been a while and I'm sorry about that. Life got a little hectic. Well...a lot hectic.

But that's no excuse. I should have stopped by to say hi. Possibly shared a recipe or two.

So here is a a hearty vegetable soup recipe just for you. I promise that I'll write more. Pinky swear.

<3ty Veggie Soup

1/2 onion, chopped
1  clove garlic, smashed
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 zucchini, chopped
4 cups of water
1 veggie bullion cube
1 tsp of herbs de provence
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 very small bay leaf
1 can of diced tomato with juice
1 can of cannellini beans
3 oz of spinach
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a pot. Saute onion, garlic, carrots and celery until soft-ish. Toss in the zucchini.Saute for another 2-3 minutes. Add the water, then the bullion cube. Toss in the spices and then the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, add the beans and spinach. Cook for the last 5 minutes, add salt and pepper to taste and voilĂ !

This soup is amazing with a baguette and some shredded parmesan on top. And once you taste this soup, I'm sure you will forgive me. :)
