Winter Warmer

Winter.  Beautiful clear days and cold nights.  After warming your bones, there is nothing better to warm the soul than a fresh pot of soup brewing!  Our house is currently alive with the rich aroma of my broccoli and spinach soup.  I cook from the heart so every recipe is unique.

Here is today's homemade recipe.

One leek -sliced finely
1/2 cup White wine
Knob of butter
Dash of Olive oil
One clove of Australian garlic
Two heads of broccoli
A bunch of fresh English Spinach
One zucchini
Chicken stock to cover veges
Salt and Pepper

Fry leek in butter and oil.  Add white wine.  Let it evaporate a bit.  Add stock and all the remaining ingredients.  Boil then simmer for an hour or so.  Blend and serve with a dollop of cream or grated sheep's pecorino cheese and a nice crunchy hunk of bread.

Yum!
