Soup is supposed to be winter food, warming you up on a cold day. I know it's summer and I know it's hot, but this bowl of Kitchen Sink Minestrone from Vegancore looks unbelievably good. Besides - eating hot food is supposed to make you feel cooler, isn't it? The soup is easy to make and, as if the name isn't a giveaway, it has a lot of ingredients: zucchini, carrots, peppers, garlic, potato, green beans, onions, kidney beans, tomatoes and pasta. I'm sure I left out a few ingredients there, but the point is that all these are either summer vegetables or pantry staples. Hot or not, it makes a tasty dinner and the leftovers are just as good - especially because leftovers mean that you won't have to heat up the kitchen by cooking anything else.

To suggest that a hot bowl of soup is only Winter Fare, suggests we don't EVER eat a hot meal during the summer months. We eat hot entrees most nights, why not a bowl of soup? Warm, true ... but it's also significantly lighter fare (assuming you're staying away from creams and stews). Just warm, and in a bowl. I probably make soup more than any other thing, and with gardens producing an abundance of ingredients all summer, this soup is a perfect summer meal. Happens to be warming in Winter, yes ... but it doesn't overheat you, or your kitchen, in summer, and the added liquids are excellent for those summer activities which dehydrate you. Bring Back Summer Soups on Restaurant Menus! Please!
