If you did not know, we have an insanely popular post for roasted cauliflower, Roasted Cauliflower with Red Chile, Cilantro & Lime. If you haven’t read it or tried it, you need to do so. It’s that good. Of course, almost anything with red chile, cilantro and lime is going to be good. We decided to play with it and play with it we did. Roasted cauliflower with a twist – we turned it into soup. 🙂 It was very good, too. Continue reading Roasted Cauliflower Bisque
This is a short post on vegetable broth. It’s a simple, basic recipe that you should include in your cooking repertoire. It has a variety of uses, i.e. soups, sauces, braises, etc., and is a nice way to clean out vegetables in your fridge or freezer. Continue reading Basic Vegetable Broth
And here is a post with NO CHILES! It finally got cold enough in DFW to have a hot bowl of soup. In fact, we got down to the upper 30s on Sunday and it warmed up into the lower 50s.

The last two posts, Hearty Beef Stock and Rich Chicken Stock, were a prelude to this post. You see, without those two posts you simply cannot make this recipe. The backbone and base of this soup is the stock. Canned or box stocks or broths will give you a soup but not one you want to serve your guests. This recipe is the real deal. Continue reading Classic French Onion Soup
The previous post concerned making a good beef stock, a critical essential to soups and sauces. This post concerns making a good chicken stock. While many of you already know how to make basic stocks, there are others that don’t so I decided to put these basics on the blog, especially since I had to make them for the French Onion Soup recipe.
