FALL / HOLIDAY SOUPS - 2007

Available September 15, 2007 - January 15, 2008

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   

And who doesn't love a hearty mix of fall greens, fresh from the field and braised with olive oil and garlic?  Earthy Swiss chard, kale, and Asian greens 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 WITH SMOKED AND ROASTED CHILES  VEGAN   

This luscious soup has a smoky quality and complexity from a variety of smoked and roasted chili peppers, oregano and orange zest.  The elegant black beans are pureed into a silky blend with tomato, onions and just the right amount of fire.  Serve with a dollop of sour cream, cheddar cheese and a sprinkling of fresh cilantro, if you wish. Top it with a seviche of bay scallops, avocado and lime. Or serve as a perfect starter for a grilled pork tenderloin with corn ragout.  Soup to see the world fresh and new. 

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, cider and our own special spice blend bring it all together. Soup to appreciate Nature's bounty.

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

TOMATO CHÈVRE  VEGETARIAN

The sweetness of the tomato unfolds in the company of earthy goat cheese locally produced by Rawson Brook Farm.  We can taste the radiance of the sun and the majesty of the mountain in the presence of orange and rosemary branches, honeyed roasted garlic and a touch of milk and cream. Soup for a sense of place.

WILD MUSHROOM VEGAN   

An elegant soup to grace your holiday table. Here, an intoxicating blend of forest treasures - domestic, crimini, shitake, oyster, portabella and porcini mushrooms are pureed with caramelized onion and garlic, fragrant with the seductive scent of fresh rosemary. Woodsy. Earthy. Soup to live with ease and elegance.

TOMATO FENNEL ORANGE VEGAN 

Let the sunshine in with this bright soup bursting with flavor and vitality.  Spanish onions are sautéed with fresh thyme and olive oil until the color of honey, then simmered with tomatoes, carrots and the captivating allure of fennel bulb.  A generous splash of freshly squeezed orange juice adds sweetness and promises to enlighten the palate. A meal in itself over fresh pasta, aged cheese, steamed greens and garlic rubbed crostini. Or be creative.  It also serves as a slightly chunky sauce for cooking anything from Chilean Sea Bass to Osso Bucco or a special Christmas Eve seafood stew of mussels, clams, shrimp and lobster. And it shines with a scoop of saffron risotto or creamy polenta and a swirl of black olivada. Let your imagination run wild. Soup to access wholeheartedness.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA VEGAN   

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.
