OK, so it’s officially cold in New York. As a result, lately, I’ve been all about making homemade soups. If I make a large enough batch, it’s enough to get us through the week (and maybe a couple of lunches, too). Here, three recent—and delicious—recipes we’ve tried:
1. Potato Leek Soup. This one is a staple and probably the only recipe I know by heart. But here’s the beauty of it: It’s got six total ingredients. (I swear, those are the best kinds of meals.) Basically, you need 6 leeks, 4 tablespoons of butter, 4 cups diced potatoes, chicken broth and nutmeg and cayenne pepper to season it when it’s done. I can’t find the exact recipe online, but this variation should do.
2. Jerusalem Artichoke Soup. Commonly referred to as “sunchoke” soup, this recipe has a delicious texture and flavor. Tastes great with a side of Brussels sprouts. Yum.
3. Soupe au Pistou. The hardest part with this soup is making the pistou. A mortar and pestle worked better for us than our blender since it allowed us to grind the basil so that it was really fine.
