I think I've made this for the past 3 out of 4 fall beet seasons!<br /><br />This time I used half roasted beets (that I'd frozen from a CSA bunch that didn't get dealt with until the greens were too far gone), half fresh beets, and a potato to round up to 2 pounds. I think I probably doubled the red cabbage as well.<br /><br />I wasn't paying much attention to the directions and was in 'soup mode' so I sautéed the onions, cabbage, and root veggies for a while before adding the broth, bay leaf, and seasonings. After they'd simmered until tender, I used my immersion blender to make it more smooth and tossed the semi-pureed soup on top of the chopped greens in the slow cooker on low. There it sat until everyone returned from their activities and we sat down to dinner together.<br /><br />Yummy!kirstennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-25113771086119242272007-10-29T21:36:00.000-05:002007-10-29T21:36:00.000-05:00There's a new vegetable storage bag called Evert-F...There's a new vegetable storage bag called Evert-Fresh Green Bags (www.evertfresh.com) which will "prolong the life of fruits, vegetables and cut flowers." I have some but haven't tried them yet. This should be a lifesaver for my veggies! Love the soup -- it looks so satisfying.Susan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07206614560216060161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-3895485349497828072007-10-29T12:41:00.000-05:002007-10-29T12:41:00.000-05:00I've used beet greens for a 'sag aloo' (replacing ...I've used beet greens for a 'sag aloo' (replacing spinach with beet greens), but haven't used them in a beet soup yet.

I do the same with lettuce and herbs, and they keep for up to a week that way.Lydia (The Perfect Pantry)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18005372315838352874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-36150694779713381662007-10-29T08:42:00.000-05:002007-10-29T08:42:00.000-05:00Well, you're ahead of me now.

It's even got a lovely fall color.MyKitchenInHalfCupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321041059604871286noreply@blogger.com
