Growing vegetable soup

Last spring, we planted a garden. We enjoyed some of the early crops and had salad, but we promised the current Senior Kindergartens (who were Junior Kindergartens at the time) that come the fall, we would be able to make vegetable soup from the produce in our garden.

To set the stage, we started off by reading this book.

We went out with our shovels and rakes and gloves. The garden had become quite overgrown in our absence!

With a little elbow grease, we soon discovered that our potatoes and carrots had grown and were ready to be picked.

After “pulling” our harvest in, we started washing the vegetables.

Next, we began chopping them.

We added some broth, turned on the slow cooker, and boy did it smell delicious!

Stay tuned, we’ll let you now how it tastes! The Junior Kindergartens didn’t get a chance to do much, but they will get a bowl of scrumptious soup!
