Dawson Local Harvest:  NO (April) FOOLIN', This Soup is Delicious!

DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST for April 1st

NO (April) FOOLIN’ This Soup is Delicious!

HI EVERYONE!

I don’t usually do recipe thingies right at the top, but I (and several of our good customers) have a mutual love for Leek Soup, and I wanted to tell you about it. First of all what, you may ask, is a Leek? Well, it’s sorta like a Green Onion on steroids. Big, but milder. It imparts a wonderful base flavor to soups and here’s 2 ways to try it.

POTATO-LEEK SOUP from The Thug Kitchen cookbook (x-rated but funny): 3 med.-large potatoes, 6-8 Baby Leeks (LEILANI’S), an elephant garlic clove, 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable), salt, pepper, and a little fresh Chives and Dill (plants at LEILANI’S). Put a little oil in a big pot, chop up the white parts of the Leeks and saute’ 3-4 minutes, add cubed potatoes and minced garlic and stir 2 minutes, add broth and salt, boil then simmer covered 15 minutes. Blend it all until creamy, add chives then salt & pepper to taste, and finally a little fresh Dill to taste. Yum.

MY FAVORITE VARIATION: Skip the potatoes (or not), do a whole bag of LEILANI’S Baby Leeks and 2 elephant garlic cloves, saute’, add 3 cups of broth, simmer uncovered for 30 minutes to reduce volume. Blend, put back in the pot and add a full pint of Heavy Whipping Cream! Add the chives, salt, pepper, a little dill, warm up a Sourdough Round from MY DAILY BREAD with plenty of butter, and make a spectacle of yourself (at least that’s what I do and I ain’t apologizin’!

THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.

You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.

Have a happy and healthy week!

Just a quick Weblog, this morning, little local market of love customers, to tell you to have a lovely, sunshine filled, daydreaming kind of Easter!

When you are finished with your celebrations, you can settle down with out market, and ease your way into the week, by placing your orders…

Just a quick word…with the early warm weather, several vendors are alerting me that it will be just a few short weeks, and they will be able to bring in a bit of early seasonal produce!! YEAH!!

We have had to say goodbye to Star Dancer Creamery, and we wish them well!!

In the coming couple of months, we should be able to offer you a new dairy source!!

So much to look forward to, so much market excitement!!

Have a lovely day, show some love, and then come back to us, with your weekly orders!!
