Ladies and gentlemen, the Carrot Dill Family!! Family Carrot Dill!! Hello? Where are they? Oh goodness me, they’ve escaped the oppressive regime of processedfoodland. They’ve run away! Oh there they are! Oh look – the leeks, carrots, dill, and parsley are dancing in a circle in an open field on a farm. Can you hear them sing? They are singing some of my favorites!! Do-re-me-no-pra-ser-va-tives! The soup is alive with the taste of freshness! Carrots and dill and fresh ingredients – these are a few of my favorite things. Oh I love it when my vegetables sing. They are so harmonious. Why do I never have my video camera when they break out in song?

The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Carrot and Dill Soup
The Gingered Sweet Potato Soup of Truth
Some describe this soup as luxurious. So perhaps you should think of this soup as a diamond bracelet from Tiffany’s that you could eat – if diamonds were edible and tasted like sweet potatoes. The natural flavor of the local sweet potatoes jumps out of the bowl as you heat it up. The ginger provides a little kick – kind of like someone gently pinching your tush at a bar. But you won’t want to slap it or sue it. Please don’t sue the soup. This is also one of those soups that causes you to say – really? No cream? Really? Are you lying, Soupergirl?? And don’t worry, Soupergirl is like George Washington – I cannot tell a lie except when referring to my weight on my drivers license.
It’s Amore Zuppa Barley Soup
One bite of this soup and you’ll be whisked away to the hills of Tuscany. I’m assuming Tuscany is hilly, because I’ve never been there. However, according to several romance movies that take place in Tuscany, it is quite scenic and filled with gorgeous people who speak the language of amore and help you carry your jugs of chianti back to your villa, which is located on a hill. Awesome. So anyways, back to the soup and how it will take you there… Barley is incredibly earthy and luscious. The spinach and tomatoes round out this thick and creamy soup. They also add a delightful color and make the soup gorgeous – much like the Italian who is carrying your jug of chianti.
