Soup Pondering

I think I am going to make soup tonight – maybe something vaguely ministrone-ish, but without white beans and I’m still waffling on the inclusion of pasta product.

I have stock, yellow squash, zucchini, canned tomatoes, roasted garlic, and greens. (ETA: onions, a couple baby carrots, and some seasonings.)

Is there anything else that would be really spiffy in the soup that I should run over to the farmer’s market across the street to buy before I go home?

Hmmm… I also have carrots. Is this a carrot kind of soup?

Comments – the only suggestions from those wise asses was celery

Pineapple

I picked out a wonderfully promising pineapple that smelled just right and the leaves at the top were just the right kind of loose (like it was ripe rather than like fifty people before me had been tugging at those leaves, too).

Only it wasn’t sweet, and now I am sad.

So instead of just gorging myself on plain fruit, I’ll put it with meat, I suppose.

Does anyone have a favorite pineapple salsa or chutney recipe?

In other news, the first ripe tomato will be ready to pick by tomorrow.
