Tuesdays and Fridays are harvest days at our house. Any vegetables remaining from Tuesday’s pickings I throw into a coop for Friday lunch. We made this one today and it was delicious. This creamy soup is rich and satisfying and is perfect for a brisk fall day! I was tempted to add ½ and ½ at the end of the recipe, but after I blended and tasted the soup I realized it wasn’t necessary. The crumbled feta for garnish is so yummy and adds a salty component so remember to keep that in mind when you are seasoning.
