SOUP SEASON COMMENCE!

I am going to soak up every ounce of sunshine I can in the next few days. Hope you do as well!

This coming week’s menu features FIVE soups ~ all layered with incredible flavors, completely different from one another and all fantastic freezer friendly soups. It’s a good time of year to stock up for those chilly nights soon to arrive.

Two of our offerings this week are our biggest sellers ~ Tom Khaa. We offer these with Thai Gai Yang Grilled Chicken or Ginger Sesame Tamari Marinated Tofu. Both come with a container of scented jasmine rice garnished with fresh Thai basil. If you haven’t experienced this traditional Thai coconut based soup, we highly recommend you do. It’s quite possibly the best soup on the planet. It had to be said again.

Another biggest seller is our Creamy Roasted Heirloom Tomato Basil Soup. It’ll transport you back to your childhood for sure. We grow heirlooms all summer just so we can have this on hand. It’s a really good freezer friendly soup that totally digs a grilled cheese sandwich by its side. We’re also making our Broccoli Cheddar Chive Soup. Highly recommended 11 years ago by a large group of 3, 4, and 5 year old Marylhurst School soup testers as their favorite soup in the line-up. Parents swore their child would not try it and if they did try it, there was no way they would like it. Not one parent left the tasting without buying a quart or two. AND it became a regular top seller with the Marylhurst Soup Group. Big people love this creamy, cheddar cheesy green soup too. It’s comfort food for sure. And the broccoli and chives were home grown in our organic gardens. Just sayin’.

And last, but certainly not least is our Creamy Ginger Coconut Tomato ~ a sexy soup that starts with roasted heirloom tomatoes from our 2024 harvests and finished with organic coconut milk & spiced toasted pepitas. It’s also the perfect match for grilled cheese AND a great soup stretcher, as well. We love this as a sauce over jasmine rice with fried shallots and garlic, sheet pan roasted bok choy and a sprinkle of cashews, scallions and cilantro. So easy and the flavors are there for you in the soup!

We’ll also have sipping broths to consider. As we amp up in the kitchen, we hope everyone starts amping up their immune systems. Tis the season to go to battle with the bugs. SIP BROTH!!

Soups & Entrées

Sipping Broths

Please look for sipping broths on our next pop-up menu. We’ll have several to choose from. Thank you! Our broths are simmered for 48-72 hours with organic vegetables and aromatics. Studies show that the benefits of slow cooking bones are extensive and proven to offer a gamut of benefits that contribute to gut repair, boosting immune function, arthritis, osteoporosis, digestion, reducing high cholesterol, eliminating acid reflux, detoxification, reduction of inflammation, strengthening nails and hair, improving skin appearance and so much more. And while most people report a great boost in energy that could easily replace your daily java, additional benefits lie in the glycine extracted. Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which means the broths can greatly help with relaxation and actually help improve sleep.
