Red Fruit Gazpacho

This purple fruit gazpacho is ready in minutes! Its flavor and health are heightened by tangy black vinegar from Japan. Substitute 1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar if black vinegar isn’t available.

Elegant Gazpacho

I’ve been making versions of Daniel Boulud’s gazpacho for almost 20 years. Over time I’ve streamlined the steps, but I still blanch the bell peppers to lessen their sharp bite. This recipe makes a creamy red soup, flecked with basil. Adapted from Café Boulud Cookbook

Ground Beef Soup with Rosie Stars

By Allison Leave a Comment

This is my back pocket winter soup.  It doesn’t involve too much chopping, comes together fairly quickly, and tastes rich and hearty.  It is also easily adaptable.  Swap out the pasta for quick-cooking barley.  Throw in a handful of chopped tomatoes.  Use dried parsley if you don’t have fresh on hand.  This soup will keep in your fridge most of the week.  It also freezes well.
