Margaret Nemeth is the chef behind the Primal Soup Company’s famous soups. She uses as much local, organically grown and in-season ingredients that she can in every one of her soups. And all of these ingredients are combined with a flair to produce a hearty soup that is filling, nutritious and best of all, delicious.

There are twenty fabulous soups to choose from including a good selection of tasty vegan, gluten free and dairy free soups. Each artisan soup is packed in a one litre container and is frozen as soon as it is made. This means that you can keep soup in your freezer and have a convenient and satisfying meal whenever you are short of time.

Why not buy several soups as a thoughtful gift for your friend who works shifts, your kids who have moved out but love homemade food or for your own family to thaw, heat and serve at a moment’s notice.

1   medium onion, chopped
1   tablespoon (15 mL) olive oil
8   good-size fresh, local carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch coins
1   medium potato, cubed
1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 mL) freshly grated ginger
5 cups (1.25 L) vegetable broth, chicken broth or water
Salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste

In a soup or stock pot, sauté onion in olive oil until translucent. Do not brown. Add carrots and and potato and stir briefly. Add ginger, broth or water, and bring to boil. Turn heat down to medium-low, cover partly, and cook until vegetables are tender, 20 or 25 minutes.
Remove from heat, cool slightly and purée all or part of the soup (depending on how smooth you like it) in a blender or food processor, or with a hand-held blender.
Make ahead, if you like, and refrigerate, then reheat just before serving. Recipe doubles easily and freezes well.

Regularly $8.00 for 2 lbs now 50% off at just $4.00 per bag. These carrots are not just older ”adult” carrots cut, shaved and marketed as new, young carrots, which is what you find in all of the groceries stores. No, Lund’s are the real thing…sweet, young, delicious baby carrots.

I asked owner and farmer Gert Lund why these carrots taste SO GOOD. He said it begins with the soil. The soil is the priority in organic farming because it is the rich minerals and nutrients in the soil that result in a great tasting, nutritious carrot. Nutrient-dense soil can only be built over many years of carefully and consciously turning organic matter back into the earth.

It makes sense on so many fronts to choose organic milk from Vital Greens Farms, carried by the Big Tomato. One reason is the milk comes from a family dairy farm near Picture Butte, so you are buying locally AND supporting an Alberta family in the process.

There is another health reason of which you may not be aware. . .Researchers from the University of Newcastle reported in the Journal of Dairy Science that levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, ‘healthy fats’ credited for giving a boost to the heart and body, were up to 60% higher in organic milks that they tested over non-organic milks. It is thought that the high grass content of the animals’ diet leads to more nutritious milk.

Levels of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fat credited with boosting heart health were 57% higher, on average in organic milks tested over non-organic. It appears that organic milk could be healthier for you and it is certainly healthier for the environment.

GOT MILK? If not, be sure to stop by Big Tomato and pick some up.
