How to Make Yummy Gypsy Soup

Gypsy Soup. This "Gypsy Soup" from Moosewood simply kills it. They've cultivated quite an abundance of cookbooks under their name, including the hand-written original where this recipe comes from. Gypsy Soup is a one-pot soup that goes together quickly, yet is rich, spicy, and full of flavor.

Heat olive oil in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Yesterday was our first day of winter weather here in Portland. We are in the process of moving at the moment, so today I decided to make a batch of my favorite soup to enjoy after a long, cold day of packing and moving boxes.

I also create custom items using material provided - Online Store Powered by Storenvy Gypsy Soup from The New Moosewood Cookbook. I went to the library yesterday and checked out a few cookbooks. It's a great way to explore the books you think might be worth purchasing or just find a few new recipes you like and then take the book back until you want it again.
