WINTER SOUPS 2010

APPLE BUTTERNUT SQUASH  DAIRY  

The grand belle of the golden soups. This soothing, ethereal bisque blends the best of local produce -- squash, carrots, apples and onions, fragrant with fresh sage and rosemary, mellowed with sweet cream and cider.  A land of milk and honey in a bowl.  Soup to come home to ourselves.

CARAMELIZED ONION GORGONZOLA  DAIRY  

In this exquisite soup, onions are caramelized with olive oil and butter into a rich onion jam.  Then simmered with fresh rosemary and thyme, chicken stock and roasted garlic, a touch of cream and the tantalizing flavor of the sweet, young Gorgonzola cheese. Love it with Roast Beef or a perfectly grilled Black Angus Steak.   Soup to abide in a place of love.

WHITE BEAN WITH BRAISED GREENS   VEGAN - GLUTEN FREE  

And who doesn't love a hearty mix of robust greens, fresh from the field and braised with olive oil and garlic?  Earthy Swiss chard, kale, and bok choy blend with the great northern white bean, sautéed onions, and our golden vegetable stock.  Simple.  Healthy.  Farm to table soup.  Soup to live fully and deeply.

NEW POTATO LEEK AND ARUGULA  DAIRY   

Here, brand new baby red thin-skinned potatoes combine with sautéed onions, leeks, and a generous handful of the sweet scented roasted garlic.  Simmered in rich chicken stock, then pureed with a last minute addition of arugula greens and a touch of sweet cream to soothe you.  Soup to keep us safe and sound.

BACK BEAN AND CORN  VEGAN - GLUTEN FREE

A chunky harvest stew generously strewn with the last of summer's corn, roasted red peppers, tomatoes and sweet Spanish onion.  Spiked with salsa and fresh cilantro, this is a sure crowd pleaser.  Garnish with scallions and baked tortillas or cornbread just out of the oven.  For a meal in itself non-VEGANS add some cooked chicken if you like.  Soup to access wholeheartedness. 

PUMPKIN  VEGAN   

The quintessential soup of the harvest.  In this savory vegan version, sweet sugar pumpkins combine with butternut squash and carrots, sautéed onions and celery in our golden vegetable stock.  Then real maple syrup, soy milk, ginger root and molasses and our own special spice blend bring it all together. Soup to appreciate Nature's bounty.

MULLIGATAWNY VEGAN - GLUTEN FREE

An energizing soup of hearty vegetables in a nourishing pool of pink lentils and chana dal (petite yellow split peas) -- the ancient healing therapy of Ayruveda.  In this version, carrots, cauliflower, onions, sweet potatoes, parsnip and peas are warmed by mild, sweet and pungent Indian spices and cooled with the silky milk of coconut.   Soup to awaken our exuberant life.

FARMHOUSE LENTIL VEGAN - GLUTEN FREE

My favorite lentil soup.  French lentils du puy simmered with onions, carrots, butternut squash, tomatoes and our golden vegetable stock.  Aromatic with bay and a touch of cumin and brightened with baby spinach.   Soup to keep the home fires burning.

SWEDISH MUSHROOM  DAIRY   

Similar to our wildly popular Summer Mushroom, this winter version has a bit more depth and texture with the mushrooms just barely pureed.  We've kept the characteristic buttermilk and dill, staples of the Swedish farmhouse, along with some sweet cream and potato to balance it out.  Simple goodness.  Peace and joy in our hearts soup.

TOMATO STILTON  DAIRY   

A classic transformed into an unexpected treasure with the unequaled flavor of English blue Stilton cheese, fresh basil puree and the soothing touch of milk and cream.  Soup to find the extraordinary in the ordinary

POTATO CHEDDAR WITH BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER DAIRY

This will give you that warm fuzzy feeling, though the chilly winds blow.  Wholesome with creamy colored cauliflower, potatoes and onions and brightened with broccoli, this has the toasty comfort of a stuffed baked potato enriched with milk and cream and the wisdom of aged cheddar. Soup for the discerning one seeking a comfort zone.

WILD RICE SHIITAKE WITH CRANBERRIES AND SPINACH  VEGAN - GLUTEN FREE

A blend of wild, red and brown rice adds body and heartiness to this versatile soup, shimmering with local shiitakes from Blue Moon Shrooms, cranberries and baby spinach.  Serve as is along with a baked acorn squash for a light supper.  Smooth out the complexity with a little soymilk or vegetable stock.  Soup for a happy heart.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA VEGAN - GLUTEN FREE

Take this hearty soup for lunch and it is sure to warm you through and through.  Carrots, sweet potato, parsnip and onions in a nourishing pool of yellow split peas. For the carnivore among us add a bit of smoky ham. Soup to embrace the moment.
