Hello beautiful October!! It’s Irene here, and I’m back with a new farm to table recipe just for you! It’s one of my favourite months of the year. The leaves are changing colours, the air is cool and crisp and of course the fall harvest is in full swing. The harvest brings an abundance of seasonal herbs and hearty root vegetables, like sage and sweet potatoes.
With cooler weather and Thanksgiving upon us, I have created a farm to table recipe to warm up your loved ones! Start your upcoming Thanksgiving meal with my sweet potato, sage and apple soup, using fresh sage and spices. I love to serve this hearty soup in small cups so guests can slowly sip and enjoy the warm comforting fall flavours.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving from my family to yours!
With Love,
Irene
