Week 52: Spring Vegetable Chowder

and yes. bring your jars back plz <3

Dearest readers,

The past week marked the passing of our very first Astoria Farmers Market! Firstly, I would like to extend a humungous thank you to the organizers. I can say that this car-less girl is tired of heading all the way to Union Square for a market. Did we stand in line for knife sharpening? YES. Did we buy very expensive produce? YES. Did we buy little trinkets? YES. Did we get so squeezed between all of the Astorians who showed up that we almost had a claustrophobic anxiety attack? YES.

(its me. that button supports me.)

It will get better. It will improve. We must keep supporting in the meantime!

Anywho, this weeks soup is an ode to the Spring. A sonnet to the first beautiful bright green veggies to rear their heads in the garden. It’s fresh, it’s bright, it’s delicious served hot or cold.

I love it served with a generous helping of crumbled feta.

The ingredients are: butter, onions, potatoes, asparagus, thyme, garlic, flour, veggie broth, peas, salt, pepper, half&half, dill, and lemon.
