I just went shopping with a project in mind: make a soup today that contains only Canadian-produced ingredients. I thought I might end up with a version of 'Stone Soup', but I was delightfully surprised by how many purely Canadian (and organic) soup fixins I actually found:
- Thomas' Utopia Brand Organic Crushed Tomatoes (in a can) I'm fairly confident that this is Canadian because it's certified organic by the Organic Crop Producers & Processors Ontario Inc.
- Sawler parsnips (from Nova Scotia, no less!)
- PC Organics onions
- PC Ruby Little Gems Red Mini Potatoes
- Maritime Grown carrots (from PEI)
- Kingsclear mushrooms (from just up the road in Kingsclear, NB)
- and, a turnip that said 'Product of Canada'
Turning up the heat on Canadian grocers and food providers can happen through buying exclusively Canadian products, and with my environmental consciousness, I also try to thrown in organic products that are produced fairly locally (regionally).
PS - These items were all purchased at the Smythe Street Superstore.
