Green Blessings ...
with Susun Weed

Vegetable Soup Stock and Vegetable Soup
A quart of this in the freezer guarantees hearty winter soups in half the time.
Next week I will share a vegetable soup recipe
.


  • Skins and ends from 4-6 onions
  • Stalks from a bunch of parsley
  • Dill stalks and seed heads
  • Optional: Dried or fresh celery leaves
  • Optional: Carrot, parsnip, or beet ends
  • Optional: 4-6 leaves of beets, or chard
  • 1 tablespoonful sea salt
  • 3-4 quarts cold water


Save the ends from your vegetable preparation for a week, excluding cabbage-family plants, and you will be ready to make this tasty broth, with perhaps only the purchase of a bunch of parsley.

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Tightly cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 2-3 hours.

Cool. Refrigerate or freeze. Should make at least 2 quarts of broth.

Vegetable Soup

Serves 16
The end of the gardening year. This is better as a leftover as it improves with age.

  • Dice 3 onions and sauté in olive oil until translucent.
  • Add 3 quarts of vegetable broth and 2-4 quarts of cold water.
  • Add 6 carrots, cut slanty,
  • 4 golden beets, cut in half slices
  • 1 large or two small kohlrabi, cut into cubes
  • 4-6 cups cubed pumpkin or winter squash
  • one 10 oz package of frozen organic lima beans
  • ¼ cup dried parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons dried crushed celery tops
  • 2 Tablespoons dried nettle seeds
  • ¼-½ ounce wakame, cut small.

Bring to a rolling boil, lower heat and simmer for 60-90 minutes.

  • Add 1-2 teaspoons granulated (or powdered) organic garlic
  • 2-3 Tablespoons herbs de Provence (thyme, rosemary, lavender, oregano, fennel)

Serve with miso.




The Wise Woman Center exists to re-weave the healing cloak of the Ancients. This land is sacred, it is a safe space for women, and a place for the teachings of the Wise Woman way. The Goddess lives here, as do goats, fairies, green witches, and elders.
Located between Woodstock and Saugerties, 5 miles from the NYS Thruway, the Wise Woman Center is easily accessible while private enough for nude swimming. You'll receive a map and directions when you register. Incredible wild-food vegetarian meals are included with all workshops. Two - and three-day workshops (limited enrollment) include camping or indoor sleeping space and meals. Click to learn more
