California Farm Wedding Soup
Farms are great locations to celebrate summer weddings, we feast outside in the shade under the trees. My grandmother would make the wedding feast, nothing was written down. Here is the first course, beef broth soup, everybody gets one big bowl and at least one refill. We serve this soup hot as a first course, with fresh baked french bread and butter, with a pickled snack garnish and mustard on the side, cold homemade beer and sparkling apple cider. One shot ( 1.5 ounces) of California Dry Sherry is added to each bowl when served to adults.
The vegetarian version replaces the meat and liver with a beef flavored herb called lovage, plus tofu and tempeh. You can get lovage dried from Amazon.

California Farm Aquafaba Soup Dinner California Farm Aquafaba Soup Dinner
Aqua Faba means bean water and is the nourishing thick broth from soaking and cooking dried garbanzo and other beans. It is often thrown away because the foam on top has a bitter taste. We skim the bitter foam off and use the broth, it tastes mild like egg whites in egg drop soups.There is also a fava bean called Aqua Dulce, which is not bitter when soaked and cooked, that can be used with or instead of garbanzo beans.We mixed both beans to make a hearty bean soup dinner served over croutons with poached egg yokes, spiced with harissa sauce and other spices, served with side dishes of pickled cucumber, pickled onions, pickled olives, pickles sweet peppers and chopped cilantro and green onions.If you prefer vegan, you whisk the aqua faba broth till it develops white strings, like eggwhites, use in this soup instead of eggs.#GlobalApron
