Creamy Butternut Squash
This is one of my all time favorite soups, and one of our families favorite Thanksgiving traditions. Infused with a great nutty flavor, and a generous sprinkling of ginger, I always make it when I'm expecting a crowd, and I NEVER have to worry about any being leftover! This soup is so wonderfully thick and creamy. Delightful hot or cold, and amazingly versatile, try it with a sprinkling of chives or with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream on top; for a little change of pace, it can even be served as a "sauce" over potatoes, chicken, or cooked rice for a super easy variation on the idea of risotto!
Compassionate Chili.
My friend Sarah named this recipe, both for the fact that it is vegetarian, and the fact that it is kind to your tongue! If you have given up this winter staple due to a low tolerance for spice, I invite you to try this mellower version that still offers all the hearty goodness of classic chili without the meat and with a fraction of the heat. Robust enough to be a meal in it's self, it is also the perfect addition to your favorite chili-burger recipe!Potato Leek
A creamy conspiracy of several different varieties of heirloom onions, leeks, garlic and potatoes come together to give this soup layers of flavors while giving you a layer of defense against cold and flue season ~and vampires! Unlike the potato leek soups I had in England, this soup has been neither blended nor cooked to death, but rather allow it to retain some chunky goodness and quirky character that lets this soup hold it's own through an Oregon winter.Hearty Garden Stew,
The perfect antidote for cold, rain soaked evenings! The specific veggies included in the recipe change over the course of the season in order to take full advantage of the best our local farmers have to offer; but it never fails to satisfy!I may sneak a few other soup selections in, just to keep you on your toes, but this quartet of soups will sing us through winter.
