This recipe doesn’t need a sauce. We prefer to dice a few tomatoes and sprinkle them with balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt for a light and colorful topping. This filling is versatile: try different vegetables like spinach, chard, asparagus, or broccoli. Olives or walnuts make a nice addition. Two crepes and a salad are a complete meal, or serve one crepe with a grain (try wild rice or quinoa) and a salad.

Read MoreMaking stock does not take much time. It can be simmering while you are preparing the soup vegetables; it can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen until you are ready for it. Some soups can be made with water instead of stock, but stock always adds to the flavor. We do not have one all-purpose stock recipe: our stock varies with the kind of soup we are making and what we have on hand. Extra credit! Check out these optional ingredients for Stock Making!
