The weather in the Pacific Northwest (45 min from Seattle) is wet--has been since yesterday. But I don't let that mess with my mood too much; I bought an anti-SAD light - so bright it curls your eyebrows--and that does the trick. It's not warming, but still makes me feel like I'm folding my sourdough in the sunshine. Today I'm making an 80% whole grain, freshly (Mockmill-) milled Mischbrot with rye, hard red & white wheat, Triticale & Spelt and just 100g breadflour. I'm trying to move away from the overly processed entities in our lives. I will make your soup today too -- I still have some homemake pasta that I dried a month ago that will go nicely with that. And I will add garlic -- like -- what's a meal without garlic? That sh*t really works - it makes me feel good and keeps the vampires away. Haven't seen one here -- ever. ;)
Sabine, I'm grateful to be reading your comment from a windy, sunny Glasgow. I'm typing this with the window open, though I'm not sure how long I'll last with this cold. I hope the soup will taste delicious - and garlicky - but nothing can go (so) wrong with a slice of fresh bread!
YES! Thank you! The soup was perfect! AND we have leftovers today with fresh slices of sourdough bread. I added the last of my parmesan crust to the soup as well; it reminds me of dinners in Italy. We used to travel there every summer when I was a child (I grew up in Germany). I will check on my plants in the greenhouse now; and maybe wander through the Gnomegarden while the rain is on break. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-PwS4fJkbx/ Have a wonderful day in Glasgow - maybe with less wind!
