We love visiting the farmers' market all year round. The sights and sounds of folks busily picking up colourful produce are delightful. Perhaps my favourite time of the year to head to market is late summer/early fall. This soup celebrates the bounty of the farmers' market and makes an amazing meatless Monday recipe that your kids will enjoy.

Our local market was bursting with great veggies this past weekend, so we decided to let the girls pick out whatever veggies they wanted. Soup is a delicious way to combine flavours and please all sorts of palettes. Our farmers' market dinners are some of my favourite meals.

Farmers' Market Vegetable Soup

2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups chopped new potatoes
at least 2 cups kale, sliced into 1" strips
¼ cup thinly sliced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
½ cup rough chopped tomatoes
2 medium carrots, sliced into ¼" disks
1 cob of corn or ¼ cup of corn
1 teaspoon thyme
salt and pepper to taste

Add broth, potatoes, carrots, onion and garlic to a large pot and bring the stock to a boil. Simmer over medium heat until potatoes are tender - approximately 15 minutes.

Add kale and corn. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

Serve immediately. Alternatively, the soup can be cooled and stored in an air-tight container for 1 week or frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
