July's Winner - No Croutons Required
A big congratualtions to Jackie over at Jackie Vetter's Kitchen.
Jackie has won our July challenge, showcasing a herb in a soup or salad.
There were some really delicious entires, so it was a hard choice to make, but Jackie's soup was way out in the lead with 23 votes.
Jackie introduced us to a new herb, well, new to me anyway, Savoury (an aromatic plant related to thyme and rosemary). Jackie added savoury to her Peasant Soup. Lucky Peasants!
I have to give a mention to the salad that came in second place. A gorgeous Caprese salad by Psychgrad from Equal Opportunity Kitchen. Lovely fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil. A simple but gorgeous meal. It was a close run thing for a while there and this is defintely one of my favourites. Thank you Psychgrad :)
Skip over to Lisa's blog tomorrow for the August challenge. Thank you to all of you who took part and everyone else for giving us such good support. It means a lot to Lisa and myself :)

I never crave soup in the summer, but that has changed over the past few weeks. This looks fantastic! Congrats to the winner.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner, the soup looks fantastic! We usually only use savoury here to make fresh bean soup. Delish! :)
