Whole Foods Trip for Cabbage Soup Ingredient

Who doesn’t love soup? We do - and my husband makes great soup and usually without a recipe. We brought home some leftover turkey from our Christmas dinner with family in Virginia and had a big pot of soup that lasted for a few meals. When we were in the grocery store last Saturday I saw a great looking cabbage. So we decided it would be a good time to make a really good cabbage soup. Unfortunately we forgot to get all the ingredients. Whenever that happened in the past it meant that we had to take a long walk to the grocery store - Harris Teeter that is eleven blocks away or Trader Joe’s that is eight blocks away. It’s okay if we are out for the morning walk, but not when it’s later in the day due to other commitments. Luckily for us the newly opened Whole Foods is just down the street from us. It’s at most a convoluted two blocks or so. So we walked down to the store and picked up a can of diced tomatoes, and also an Italian loaf, our favorite P’tit Basque cheese, an olive assortment from the olive bar, and a piece of watermelon. Whenever we think about moving from this neighborhood we always consider what’s important. Walking, not driving, to places we need to visit is a key consideration. Living in an 1890’s building has its drawbacks, but the location can’t be better. We just can’t seem to decide what’s most important. So as long as we can’t figure it out we’re not going anywhere. Now it’s time to make soup.
