Ethiopian Inspired Tomato Soup

Posted on February 29, 2024 by HelenFern

The next soup I made was inspired by Ethiopian flavors – and I think it’s my favorite of the two. Flavored with garlic, onion and spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and berbere (and more!). The flavors are rich and satisfying.

This year has gone by really fast. I’m excited that my okra seeds are sprouting! And my rhubarb is coming up beautifully – and red this time!!

I’m ready for spring – and yet five minutes ago it was raining and hailing like crazy!! But it’s all good. This is my annual trip with my sister to the beach. In fact – by the time this post goes live, I’ll be on my way!

Valentine’s and Mardi Gras are over – St. Patty’s, Passover and Easter are on the way – but it doesn’t look like Spring will be here any time soon. Just when I was starting to believe old Phil (or if you’re in Oregon, Fil), winter has dropped the curtain on Spring once again.

I did get my pepper, okra and cucamelon seeds started in the greenhouse. Prepped to start up the tomatoes soon too.

What are you doing to prepare for Spring? What kinds of delicious meals are on the menu?

And tonight – what’s for dinner tonight?
