Happy Wednesday!! I’m excited about today’s post because even though my Peaches and Cream Green Smoothie was the first recipe video I posted, the video I’m posting today was the actual first video I made. To be totally honest, I really resisted doing video for a long time. But I have no idea what I was so afraid of, because I’ve actually been having a blast making these videos!! I know I have a long way to go towards improving them, but I hope y’all have been enjoying seeing how my recipes are made :)
Today’s recipe is an iteration of something I make all the time in my home – veggie soup with Old Bay seasoning. And you may be like, “Old Bay? In soup?!”, but if you’ve never tried this combination before, I think you’ll really like it. Of course, if Old Bay’s not your thing, feel free to add in any other seasonings, like paprika or garlic powder. And also feel free to add in any other veggies that you like, or even some chickpeas, kidney beans, or lentils for extra protein! Just be sure to taste as you go, and you can’t go wrong.
Something I want to note today, is that I feel like my posts have changed a little bit here on W+F. From 2015-2017 I was going through some really hard times, and every week I was pouring a little bit out of my soul here. You know what they say, a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved. But now that my life is going well, I don’t have anything to write about!
The only problem I can think of right now is that my boyfriend doesn’t like mustard. You heard me right! He doesn’t like mustard!! I’m in shock!! When I studied abroad in France, everything was served with mustard. This one time I ordered some fries at a restaurant in Paris, and they served them with mustard instead of ketchup. And I could be over here making sandwiches with a beautiful grainy Dijon, or making delicious maple-mustard-thyme vinaigrettes, but I’m not. The horror!! ;)
P.S. I originally posted this recipe in March 2018, and I’m adding in new photos now that I feel better reflect the deliciousness of this soup! I also added in pumpkin seeds and sprouts in these photos :)
