Turnip report

I've given up on winter farmshares, but I'm close to the winter farmer's market. Here's what I'm doing to my dried limabeans:

I substituted thyme for sage. I'm suspicious of a bean recipe with no fat, but I can't exactly throw a ham bone into a vegetarian meal.

Yeah, I looked for a recipe willing to say "1/4 cup olive oil is a good substitute for a ham bone" but didn't find anything.

Olive oil provides neither salt nor umami. How about mushrooms sauteed in butter with some salt and sherry as a topping/addendum? :)

Well then, that explains it. I'll probably just smother it in cheese. :)

This is probably the most strongly flavored soup I've had since I gave up beef. Not quite my taste, but it stood up well to the equally strongly flavored raw milk cheddar.

A little rebalancing next time, then? Not a lot going on there beyond the alliums until you get to the vegetable broth.

Beef, really, not chicken? Huh. I usually think of beef broth as more fuss for less flavor than chicken broth.
