Lovage from our garden steeping in white wine vinegar.

A friend's tree. Looking forward to combining some of their crab apples with our apples to make hard cider this fall...

Found the metal stand at a yard sale for $1. It was a horrible metal grey color, we spray painted it white with some stuff we had on hand. I envision more plants on it soon.

Carrots, lovage, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes cooked until soft in water & soy sauce. Pureed with a dollop of peanut butter and coconut milk. Sprinkled with chives just before serving.

So yum. Quite possibly the best soup I've ever made. I look forward to having it again this summer with a fresh hot pepper or two from the garden thrown in.
