Soup

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Simmer Soup

    Pour in vegetable broth, seasoned salt, black pepper, and mixed herbs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Spinach

    Add fresh spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Make Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, finely chopped shallots, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Toss Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed organic greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

Bread Preparation

  1. 7

    Make Dough

    In a bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Mix in flour, salt, and olive oil until a dough forms.

  2. 8

    Knead and Rise

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 9

    Bake Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Shape the dough into a loaf and place in a greased bread pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
