The current (January 2009) issue of Sunset magazine has some good-looking
recipes for soups. They include:

"Romesco" soup, a combination of tomatoes, paprika, roasted red peppers, and
almonds

Toasted bread, bean, and vegetable soup, which has chard, ciabatta, and
Parmesan cheese

"Creamy cauliflower" soup, a *very* healthy recipe since it uses puréed
cauliflower to give the texture and appearance of cream

and

Caramelized vegetable in meatball soup, pretty much exactly what it sounds
like.


In other soup news, I plan to make brodo tomorrow and onion soup from the
brodo on Tuesday.

Bob,
Could you post that recipe, please? It sure sounds great!

After I posted the request, I did a Google search (I know I'm doing

and I adore soups!

I'd also like to try the creamy cauliflower soup but couldn't find
that recipe on the site.

The local Trader Joe's last week had free samples of a roasted bell pepper
soup with a side of jalapeno bread both of which were OK.

The soup was steaming hot and took a while to consume out of the micro dixie
cup.

It was very tasty but they should've offered a spoon (even the flat wood ice
cream cup kind) to get some of the peppers while enjoying the soup rather
than it all being left behind till the end. The soup itself was thick and
rich tasting.

Twice sampled, the jalapeno bread was hit or miss in the spicy hot category,
probably because of how they chopped it up into such small pieces.

I'd choose the soup instead of the bread.

Best,

Andy

And the taste?

Recently, I bought a round load of sourdough bread and cut out an area
in the center and filled it with New England clam chowder and it was
great! I slowly tore off some of the bread and dipped it in and slowly
both the soup and bowl disappeared. Thank God for freshly ground
pepper!

I can't tell you how it tastes because I haven tried it yet. But I
have finally found the recipe and according to the writer, you'd think
it was made with cream. But that may be more to do with the smoothness
than the taste:

http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/re...e_id=18 65448

Time: 1 hour. This soup is a real trickster—onions and cauliflower
blend into a purée so smooth, you'd swear it included cream. It's also
a good introduction to this vegetable for those who think they can't
stand cauliflower, since its sulfurous flavor is very mild here and no
cauliflower is actually visible. But if you do love it, keep the soup
a little chunky so you'll have some florets in your bowl.
Yield

Serves 4 or 5 (makes 7 1/2 cups)
Ingredients

* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
* About 1/2 tsp. salt
* 3 garlic cloves, minced
* 1/2 cup dry white wine
* 1 large head cauliflower (2 lbs.), chopped
* 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
* Freshly ground white pepper
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 2 tablespoons minced chives
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions
and salt, cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring
occasionally, until onions are very soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic
and wine. Cook, stirring, until liquid is almost completely
evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.

2. Stir in cauliflower and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a
simmer, cover, and cook until cauliflower is very soft, 20 to 25
minutes.

3. In 3 batches, whirl soup in a blender until very smooth, at least 3
minutes per batch (or, if you'd like a few florets in your soup, blend
2 batches and leave the last chunky). Stir together and season to
taste with white pepper and salt.

4. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chives, and parsley. Ladle soup
into bowls and decoratively drizzle herb oil on top.

All of the Boudin Bakery restaurants in California serve clam chowder
and chili that way (or at least they used to.) Very nice!
