I used to loathe it when I was a child but love it now. Your soup sounds brilliant and would be just the thing tonight. In spite of the fact that it is the middle of May, it's quite chilly and cold here in Toronto.<br /><br />(Eeeek!!! I'm quite afraid reading the sign "teeth extracted and stopped". It conjures up a dodgy dentist down the road from that sign who merely extracts the teeth but does nothing further.)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818302133113874649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-39743676501748014842013-05-14T01:13:50.546+10:002013-05-14T01:13:50.546+10:00Love that sign!

My Australian grandparents grew it and so when I was a child, there was always plenty to be shared. I could have done with less sharing and more non-silverbeet dishes and don't think I've bought a bunch as an adult. Still, this soup may well change my mind!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-86021031253233348812013-05-13T14:22:34.502+10:002013-05-13T14:22:34.502+10:00This soup sounds very hearty and satisfying for th...This soup sounds very hearty and satisfying for the coming cold weather.Cakelawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205068748520541380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-44100582736506963802013-05-13T11:25:24.967+10:002013-05-13T11:25:24.967+10:00I too am an impulsive vegetable shopper - esp at m...I too am an impulsive vegetable shopper - esp at markets.
