It’s cold and rainy on the east coast.  When I picked up the CSA share, all I could think of was “soup.”  We got a mix of items this week – many I  did not expect (tomatillos) and many I did (more peppers to add to an already full drawer of peppers).  I’ll have to do some research this week to figure out how to use some of the items.

This week included:

• 1 bunch kale
• 1 bunch arugula
• 1 head broccoli
• 1 bunch turnips
• 1 pint tomatillos
• Assorted sweet peppers (red, yellow, purple)
• Assorted hot peppers
• 5 medium potatoes
• 4 apples
• 1 pear (this turned out to be a quince)
• 1 small butternut squash
• A decorative gourd

I supplemented the box with:

• 8 Apples (honey crisp and mutsu)
• 2 onions
• 1 head garlic
• 1 large cucumber
• 2 ears of corn (I think I am going to make some variation of Kim’s Butternut Squash, Corn and Coconut Soup.)
