Stocking the Harvest Pantry
Essential Autumn Staples

Soup Pot Stories
The Market Broth Ritual
Save leek tops, carrot peels, and parsley stems in a freezer bag, then simmer with roasted bones or mushrooms for depth. Season patiently, sip thoughtfully, and tell us which vegetable scraps made your most flavorful, thrifty broth this season.
Creamy Without the Heavy
Blend roasted squash with sautéed onions and a splash of apple cider for velvet-rich soup without cream. Finish with yogurt, toasted pepitas, and chili oil. What toppings make your bowl sing? Drop your ideas to inspire tomorrow’s lunch.
A Memory in Every Ladle
Granddad swore by tossing a whole apple into his pot of cabbage soup for gentle sweetness. We tried it, and it worked like a charm. Share a family soup quirk we should test and feature in our next harvest roundup.
Grandma’s Stew, Today

Sunday Roasts With New Twists
Rub your roast with coffee and brown sugar, add halved figs and shallots to the pan, and baste with cider. The glaze turns glossy, the kitchen smells nostalgic, and dinner feels special without stress. What twist will you try next?
