It’s been kind of chilly of late (relatively that is). Highs in the mid-70’s. I know, to some that’s not even jacket weather, but to me, it’s cool. Soup weather.

Just me playing with my food. No recipe, just whatevers in the fridge and pantry.

Butcher was nice enough to slice a ham hock into slices for us. Easier to portion with just the two of us.

I originally envisioned split pea soup, but the ingredients had a mind of its own.

Added just a bit of quinoa for texture.

Not the thick heavy soup, a lighter (but still hearty) version, with lots of veggies (and ham of course). Just right on a cool day.

BTW, Haven’t participated in a while, sending this post to Deb at Kahakai Kitchen for her Souper Sunday feature. Check it out. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.
