Red Leicester Broccoli Soup

November 1, 2024 No Comments

There are few things on this planet as comforting and cozy as a big bowl of creamy soup. And today’s Red Leicester Broccoli Soup is a prime example of just that. This rich, stick-to-ribs dish features a classic mirepoix simmered with white beans and then pureed. Premium Red Leicester cheese is melted into the velvety soup before lightly steamed broccoli is folded in. This soup is luscious, thick, and completely captivating. And it’s not horrible for you, which is more than I can say for most beloved creamy soups. So grab a spoon and let’s dive in!

I can’t shake the feeling that today’s Creamy Lemon Orecchiette is more of a spring dish than a fall one. Something about lemon feels spring-ish. Maybe it’s an Eastertime lemon meringue pie association. But despite this inkling, I’m sharing this dish in the middle of October because I do what I want, I guess. It does have crispy sage – that’s very fall, right? And there is a coziness to pasta that makes it fitting fall fare regardless of flavor, right? I adore lemony dishes, plates of pasta in particular, year-round. And this one is one of the best I’ve ever made. That is not an exaggeration. This dish comes together in 30 minutes, it brings a lot of textures to the table, and it’s rich without being heavy. It is, in a word, perfection. So let’s get into it!

Warm Red Cabbage Salad with Sumac Onions

Cabbage is one of my favorite ingredients, which I realize might be a bit surprising. I feel like cabbage gets a bad rap. People tend to love it shaved raw in salads or towering atop pork tonkatsu but it’s far from crave-able. Most people associate cooked cabbage with limp, odorous soup or as a component of the forever polarizing boiled dinner. But a head of cabbage is always a good thing to have on hand. It has a good shelf life, a single head can be stretched across multiple meals, it’s crisp and crunchy raw, and buttery when cooked. If you’re not so sure about that last part, allow me to show you the light via this Warm Red Cabbage Salad. This dish will dispel the smelly cooked cabbage myth and replace it will a food memory you’ll want to hold on to. So let’s get started!

In today’s Honey Mustard Baby Potatoes, a duo of mustards do most of the heavy lifting. This is a very simple recipe, so this will be a relatively short post. I’m sure you’re all devastated. This dish features baby Yukon gold potatoes parboiled and roasted before being tossed in a garlic, honey, and mustard dressing.
