The best soup to add into your meal plan...

Today I have a great recipe to share with you from my friend Sera. Sera is a part of my life in so many ways. Her family was not only one of the founding Cool Breeze Farm members (or the "OG" Original Gagstas as we sometimes refer to those 4 sweet families that helped the launch of our farm) but we also sing in a band together and she is a wildly talented local photographer that has captured some of the best pictures of my family. She's also a fabulous cook so I can always trust her opinion on a new recipe. When she picked up some of our new Italian sausage and shared this dish she made with it I knew I had to try! 

We've had great feedback about our mild Italian sausage and are stocked up at the market! Swing by and pick up some for your meal plan this week or next.  Thanks so much for sharing this meal with us Sera! 


Enjoy,
-Valerie
