The farmers market is quiet this time of year. A handful of vendors with both hearty souls and food remain. The glamour of summer is replaced with a sturdy reliability. We have long-term relationships with winter produce, such as apples, onions, carrots, potatoes and hardy greens. They are not fickle. They don’t abandon us in the hard times.
But while a long shelf life, devotion and a pioneer spirit are great, this story is mostly about deliciousness. North Carolina produce shines year round.
Winter Green Cure-All Soup has powers. It’s probably the greens that pump up the vitamin C so high that we feel a bit healthier immediately after eating it. It evolved from dressed-up ramen. And now, behold, it is super duper dressed-up ramen. The ginger, garlic, sesame oil, hot sauce and other special touches open up sinus cavities and fill withering souls with hope. I make it whenever anyone feels ill in my household. But don’t wait to feel under the weather to try it. It’s power food for everyday living.
