Better Than Bullion, egg-drop soupe recipe, food, fresh pea recipe, Martha Stewart recipe, parsley recipe, Pea Lemon and Egg-Drop Soup, pea pods, shell peas, vegetarian

Our CSA brought a pile of green pea pods and parsley last week.  I like looking up new recipes once the ingredients arrive.  This one is a variation on Martha Stewart’s Pea, Lemon, and Egg-Drop Soup.  To make the lemony, summery soup you will need:

*1 1/2 pounds fresh peas in pods

*5 cups stock (We make ours using Better Than Bullion.  The mushroom and veggie flavors are vegetarian and really yummy)

*2 large eggs, lightly beaten with fork

*1 bunch of parsley

*zest + juice from one lemon

*freshly ground pepper

1. Shell peas and place pods, parsley and stock in medium saucepan.

2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and partially cover.  Simmer for 30 minutes.

3. Strain pods and parsley and return stock to pot.

4. Bring stock to a boil and add peas.  Simmer 3 – 4 minutes until they turn bright green.

5. Turn off heat and slowly pour in stream of eggs and stir with a fork to make strands.

6. Stir in lemon juice and zest.  Grind in pepper to taste and serve immediately.

I like buying groceries with beautiful packages.  It makes me happy see bright little compositions behind the cabinet doors.  In honor of Earth Day this weekend, we reused these colorful tomato cans as geranium pots.  The graphic labels are printed on and will withstand drips from a watering can.  You will need:

*Recycled Can

*Can Opener

*Geranium, or other small plant

*Potting Soil

*Small Stones or Broken Clay Pot Shards

1. Wash and dry can.

2. Turn can over and punch a series of slits on the bottom to allow for drainage.  Our holes are about half an inch long.

3. Put one inch of stones inside can.

4. Put in plant and fill in any space with potting soil.  Soil line should be half an inch from the top of can so that it will not spill out when watered.

5. Place a tray or dish underneath when watering.

*These would make sweet Earth Day or Mother’s Day gifts.

Ada brought this down for me the other day.  She made it out of modeling clay and Wikki Stix and paper and a toothpick and I think I see some of my hair wound in there.  It reminded me why we are so lucky to live here.  There is art everywhere in New York.  I don’t do enough museums lately with the double stroller, but I am counting the days until we can get back to it.  (Yes, I was one of those crazy people who dragged my two-year-old to the Alexander McQueen show).  I love that our kids are so close to art here – and music, and dance, and food, and people…I Love NY!
