When winter weather sets in, my soup recipes come out. I think my first soup of the season was my lentil and vegetable soup … so easy and so flavorful. Before the spring thaw, some of my old favorites will surely make an appearance as well: acorn squash soup, carrot ginger soup and Thai coconut soup.
One of these days, I’ll get around to posting those recipes, but for now, I’ll share some of the delightful soups I’ve been discovering on the internet. Who doesn’t love a new soup recipe? Oh, and accompaniments that’ll make your soup shine….
I love a rich, brothy soup that makes me feel all warm inside. Wild mushrooms are just a happy bonus, and this recipe for porcini mushroom soup seems pretty easy to make, yet impressive.
This recipe for cauliflower soup intrigues me, because it is probably the simplest recipe I’ve ever seen. I haven’t yet decided if that’s good or bad, but I’m leaning toward good. Every flavor in this soup is wonderful — cauliflower, potatoes, stock and herbs de Provence. I’m even thinking that if you roasted the potato and cauliflower you could get a different flavor nuance to this simple soup. I’m trying it, and soon.
Chicken mulligatawny is an Indian-style soup that reminds me a bit of the Thai soup I love so much, with the curry and coconut. This one’s got chicken, Granny Smith apples and toasted almonds as a garnish … not sure you can go wrong here.
Speaking of soup, nothing goes quite so well with a hearty bowl of soup than some homemade flatbread. I’m rather fond of making an onion and olive focaccia, but I’m definitely trying this seeded flatbread recipe the next time, bursting with poppy, sunflower, pumpkin and mustard seeds.
Or maybe these sweet potato spelt biscuits will grace my table. It’s not often I find a recipe already designed for spelt flour, so I’m game to try a recipe without altering it, something that almost never happens.
Do you have a favorite soup recipe to share?
