Recipes

Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup

A wonderfully hearty, creamy and healthy soup using our abundance of sweet winter carrots and sweet potatoes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder, plus a bit more for serving
1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
1-1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 small), peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1-3/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons honey
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Do not brown. Add the curry powder and cook a minute more.
Add the carrots, sweet potatoes, chicken broth and salt and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until vegetables are very tender, about 25 minutes. Stir in the honey. Using a stick blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, cool the soup slightly, then puree in a blender in batches. Be sure to leave the hole in the lid open, and cover with a kitchen towel, to allow the steam to escape.) Season to taste with salt, pepper and more honey if necessary. Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with more curry powder if desired. (Note: As the soup sits, it will thicken up so you may need to add a bit of water to thin it out.)

Market News

Hello!

Happy New Year! We wish you all a very healthy and joyful 2017. May you find much love, compassion and support in your family and community, and may you share it with those around you!

It is our pleasure and our privilege to grow food for you, and provide for you a wonderfully curated selection of the best local produce, meats, and products available. We look forward to a great 2017!

We are switching to an every-other-week delivery schedule. We will be delivering this week, and our next delivery will be on Wednesday, January 18th. Please stock up on items for the two weeks. Load up on our frozen meats and eggs. We’ve got a great selection of root crops and winter squashes that will also keep for a few weeks. Our greens and lettuces are so freshly picked, that their shelf life is quite long, so order more of those as well!

By switching to an every other week schedule, we are giving our slow growing winter crops more time in between harvests to catch up. We want to be able to offer you the best selection with the largest quantities available, and this is the best way to do this!

In other news, The Bloomy Rind is in the process of moving their location and reorganizing their business. They will now be a strictly wholesale operation, working with stores and restaurants all over town and beyond to offer their curated selection of artisan cheeses. We are lucky here at Fresh Harvest to be able to continue to work with Kathleen and her extensive cheese expertise. She is will continue to bring us the finest selection of small batch cheese that there is anywhere! There will be no cheese this week, as the business is right in the middle of reorganizing. But, they will be back on the week of the 18th!

We also have a new product! Tru -bee Honey has their lip balms up! Made with their beeswax, they smell good and feel great.

Thank you so much for all your support!
See you Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
