In the Garden for June

What a beautiful time of year I love the Spring and almost Summer Blooms. We have had really good rain everything is so green and pretty. Garden seeds planted about 2 weeks ago are all emerging from the ground and so are all the little grasshoppers. It’s time to put out No lo Bait for grasshoppers to eat and die.

These are Purple Ruffled Iris. I don’t have the official name for them. I got them from QVC, The first ones I bought from them died and these were the replacements.

Rhubarb has had a hard time in my garden, it’s small this year but at least it hasn’t gone to seed.

Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup with Curry

20130603-175418.jpg

Broccoli & Cauliflower Soup with Curry

*2 cups or one bunch Fresh Broccoli (cut into the size you like)
*2 cups or one head Fresh Cauliflower (cut into the size you like)
*1 or 1/2 medium Onion chopped
*4-5 cups Chicken Broth or 4-5 teaspoons chicken granulated bullion with 4-5 cups water (I used low sodium)

Simmer the above until almost tender.

Mix Milk Mixture together:

*1/2 cup Almond milk
*1/4 cup Ultra Gel
*1 teaspoon Curry Powder
*Salt & Pepper to taste

*2 cups Cheddar or mozzarella cheese grated (Blend cheese in the blender with milk mixture.)

After vegetables are cooked you can blend them up in the blender to make it more of a cream soup. I only took 2 cups of the vegetables and blended them with the Milk Mixture in the blender and then added blended soup back to the pot of vegetables.

Mix all together and simmer all soup ingredients until soup is thickened.
