"Thyme is one of the best known and most widely-used culinary herbs. It is quite easy to grow and is commonly found as a decorative as well as a functional plant in many home gardens. A member of the mint family, thyme is a perennial evergreen shrub, whose sometimes woody stems are covered with small, gray-green to green leaves. Its small, two-lipped flowers range in color from pale pink to purple and bear quadruplet nutlet fruits. The entire plant is aromatic. "From "Thyme Varieties and Facts".

Tonight I made chicken and vegetable soup, and using fresh Thyme as an ingredient added so much flavor to the dish! I read that you can add Thyme to salads as well :)

Yum Mia! That looks delicious! I've wanted to grow thyme, but I don't think I've ever tried.
Looks delicious!

YUM! That soup looks great! Vegetable soup is my favorite! My mom grows a lot of herbs, but I don't think she grows thyme. Maybe I will start growing it!

Thank you for the lovely comments, Ladies!
Mrs. Henderson: Unfortunately I don't have the recipe; this was a classic example of a "whatever-you-have" frugal soup! I started with chicken & broth, added a carrot here, celery and mushrooms there, then poured about 1 cup of uncooked pasta noodles into the soup! They turn out more flavorful by soaking up/cooking in the broth! I'm sorry I couldn't give measurements--I honestly didn't even know it would turn out so well! lol
Oh, and I did use fresh Thyme, salt and pepper of course!! :)
