sear roasted salmon fillets with lemon-rosemary butter sauce from Fine Cooking

Having a rather nice salmon fillet on hand, perused the web and found a recipe that I had all the ingredients for. This was really good. The searing of the salmon gave the flesh just a bit of a crust... read more >

Soup of the Day (Williams-Sonoma): 365 Recipes for Every Day of the Year

Chickpea porcini and farro soup : page 39

This soup was good. A lot more effort than it was worth, and the farro component seemed like an afterthought.

Chickpeas were cooked then pureed, seperately, the farrow was cooked and then stirred in.
The mushrooms were sauteed and added more as a garni than a component.

The recipe says it will serve 4-6. It will serve a lot more than that. It is a very heavy filling soup, great if you want to feed a crowd

I opted to use the crimini mushrooms, to pay for fresh porcini would be a waste of money.

This was a really easy soup to make and even easier to love.

Made the soup and chilled overnight to have it cold. Warm evening so this was nice to come home to.

A couple days later we came home late, cold, raining so I heated the soup, toasted some naan and had a little hummus on the side. Dinner on the table in @ 10 minutes.

This soup is a keeper. A good soup to make when my market has red peppers on sale.

Chorizo and chicken stew with avocado crema : page 219

This soup was a delight!
A lot of flavour going on and then polished with the dollop of avocado crema.
This one will become a staple.

Pastina and Kale soup with andouille : page 213

This was a lovely soup with a lot of flavours going on. Just the ticket for a cool autumn evening.

As I usually keep andouille on hand this was a mainly pantry soup, just had to pick up a bunch of kale.

The soup keeps well for several days in the fridge so a good choice to make ahead.

Serve with a crusty bread and a glass of wine.

Roasted red pepper puree with spicy corn salsa : page 141

A lovely soup and easy. Another mostly pantry item soup. Just picked up a couple ears of fresh corn on the way home.
Salsa was really great and can stand on its' own. Used leftover salsa in a salad the next evening.
