I have a loose rule at the farm, perhaps more of a goal, and that is: Empty by June, full by October. I'm talking about the freezer. Well, today June is nigh, and I have items in the freezer that I need to use, and can't bear to throw away. That Kabocha squash was so good and so sweet, and Eureka, I had three cups of it pureed and frozen. Also a number of bags of frozen corn, some beans, and a few cubes of eggplant. This is where last year meets this year.

I sauteed some new onions

added some fresh herbs (and some of those crazy, wonderfully hot pepper flakes I grew)
Poured in the silky pureed squash and sundry frozen veg, then added baby spinach out of the garden, salted it to taste.

Freezer soup, doing its part to ready for summer bounty!
