I was battling a cold earlier this week, so I used loads of veggies from our Kula Fields delivery box to make a cold stopper soup. And because I added wine to the broth, I dubbed it the Drunken Cabbage Soup.
I threw some chopped veggies in olive oil to let them sweat (an onion, a carrot and a few celery sticks), then cooked down peeled and chopped sweet potatoes before adding broth and water and about 2 cups of Sauvignon Blanc that I had sitting in the fridge. I brought everything to a boil, then lowered the heat to let everything simmer for a good 10 to 15 minutes to cook off all the alcohol. While the soup was simmering, I threw in my chopped roasted cabbage that I had cooked last night as well as bunches of chopped fresh kale.
The end product? A delicious, body-healthy purple soup.
During one of my days off, I also added to my stack of books. Seriously. My book buying is becoming a problem.
On Thursday, I was finally feeling good enough for a little exercise. Bryan, Alexa and I hit Wahikuli Beach for some sunshine, reading and a swim.
We also caught a killer sunset.
The ocean looked like a mirror, and a huge thundercloud was loosing a torrent of rain over Lanai.
