Recipe Round-up (October 2024)
The leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and the first snow of the year is on the way, which means one thing: it is officially soup season. When the weather turns cold, there is nothing better than a warm pot of soup simmering on the stove. It fills your home with warmth and wonderful aromas, and when it is time for supper, it warms you from the inside. In this month’s recipe round-up we have 6 different soup options, so you are sure to find something delicious and warming to cook up on one of these cool autumn nights.
Tender wontons stuffed with minced pork, shrimp, scallions, and basil float in a delicious green curry coconut broth. This soup makes an excellent dinner on a chilly night, with just enough heat in the broth to really warm you.
Chicken pot pie is comfort food at its finest, and this recipe brings all of that flavor to a simple-to-prepare pot of soup. Pan-fried pastry completes the pot pie experience with a crisp, buttery garnish.
Lohikeitto (Nordic Salmon Soup):
Not only is this Nordic salmon soup a tried and true winter warmer, but this recipe makes use of the salmon scrap from your local market to make a rich and delicious broth. Grocery stores toss a lot of scrap, and are often happy to give these bits away for free to interested cooks.
A silky, east-meets-west bowl of goodness, this soup brings all the flavor of panang curry to a classic tomato bisque. After dipping your grilled cheese into a bowl of this soup, there’s no way you’re going back to the can.
Hearty vegetables, tender rice, and chicken meatballs floating in a wonderful lemony broth. This soup is both light and filling, a perfect meal for a crisp evening.
Rosemary, Chicken, and Potato Stew:
A big pot of stew simmering on the stove while snow falls outside is the stuff dreams are made of. In this recipe we show that stew doesn’t have to mean red meat. Chicken, potatoes, greens, and plenty of rosemary come together to make a wonderful stew that will stick to your ribs and keep the chill at bay.
If you can’t find yourself a recipe in there, I can only imagine that you just aren’t in the mood for soup. Maybe it’s still warm where you are. But you’ll want to bookmark this page anyway, because wherever you’re reading this from, cold weather is coming, and soup season is nigh.
