              To be honest I don't use to eat organic food, but since the professor asked for this project I was thinking and decided to do something that a friend recomended me because she loves it. It is so easy to do and take about 1 hour to get ready.This comes a tasty soup with a glass of red wine (Bonterra Organic Pinot Noir), also I should mention that that menu is perfect for a soggy chilly weather.I hope you try, you will love it.
