Curried Pear and Squash Soup

By · On Sep 23, 2011 · Comments (1)

Even though squash is sweet, it still tastes great paired with pear. If you like, you can add a pinch of cayenne for contrast, in addition to the lemon juice in the recipe.

Raw or Nearly-Raw Cold Beet Borscht

By · On Aug 27, 2011 · Comments (1)

The ingredients of classic cold beet borscht are usually cooked together, then chilled, but in this version, there’s no need to cook at all, unless you’d like to lightly pre-cook the beets. Aside from pushing the main component of this classic cold soup through the feed tube of a food processor, there’s not much more to it, and the results are superb. After this has a chance to chill, don’t be shy about amping up the lemon/agave contrast to your taste. Read More→

Roasted Root Vegetable Soup

By · On Jul 20, 2011 · Comments (2)

I make roasted vegetables at least once a week all winter. It’s so pleasant to warm the house, to make it smell good, and then to have that panful of roasted vegetables that could be boring but now are glazed with olive oil and sherry, sweetly caramelized, dark brown around the edges. If possible, use homemade broth for this soup, one that is not too sweet. The roasted vegetables will provide plenty of sweetness. Recipe from Love Soupby Anna Thomas. Read More→

Cool as a Cucumber Soup

By · On Jul 08, 2011 · Comments (4)

Cold cucumber soupWith temperatures at tropical levels all over the country, this week’s recipe is one of my favorite easy, no-cook soup featuring cucumbers with lots of fresh herbs in a vegan sour cream (or coconut yogurt) base. No matter what else you’ll be serving to celebrate the Fourth of July, this soup would be a great addition to your meal — it’s especially refreshing served with grilled veggies.

Green Gazpacho

By · On Jun 29, 2011 · Comments (0)

cilantroA splendid no-cook soup that will awaken taste buds dulled by summer heat, this soup can be eaten as soon as it is made, but definitely benefits from having time to stand for several hours so that the lively flavors can mingle. A cousin to the classic tomato-based gazpacho, this cold soup is a great first course for a Mexican or Southwestern-style meal, and is especially nice to make when fresh tomatillos are in season in late summer.
