"The healthiest thing you've made."

Indeed, it is true.  I think that the soup from last night was possibly the healthiest thing I have made (for this blog).  Butter-less, sugar-less, extra virgin olive oil-less, nearly-cheese-less...but delicious-less?  Hell no.

Menu:
Roasted garlic (#84)
Tomato basil soup (#85)
Baguette croutons (#86)

 This made the house smell amazing.

There is a new cookbook in my life.  Which I couldn't be happier about.  Mollie Katzen's Get Cooking is great.  Her nonchalant, simple way of writing about food, how much she loves it and how much she wants you to start loving to cook it, is perfect.  All three recipes came from her book.  The soup, with freshly roasted garlic, was not only delicious and light, but was ready in 15 minutes!  I mean, really!  What a great Monday night dinner.  

For the croutons, slice fresh baguette thinly, brush with olive oil and put in the oven for 5 minutes on 375 degrees.  Perfect croutons.  Who knew?  Maybe you did, but I didn't.

I think they liked it.
