Soup Summary
Last night I learned to make five soups at Sur La Table’s Hearty Soups for Cold Winter Days. The class was lots of fun, and I left quite full. (A second helping of my favorite chorizo, chickpea, and chard soup with garlic toasts did the trick.) Williams-Sonoma is offering a rival class Feb. 17 teaching the basic stock-making techniques, both meat- and vegetable-based stocks. And if that hasn’t gotten you in the mood for a bowl of goodness. Try this recipe from Greenz for their ancho tortilla soup:
(Serves 12 people)
9 corn tortillas
1 T cumin
1/8 cup canola oil
1/2 white onion
1/2 T chipotle powder
2 Ancho chili peppers
1 T chopped garlic
7 cups water
1 T vegetable base
1 T salt
Add water, vegetable base, salt, cumin, chipotle powder, and bring to a boil. Fry tortillas. Add tortillas to mixture. Boil for 10 minutes. Let cool 10-15 minutes then blend mixture until smooth in blender. Garnish with avocado, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chip.
Suzanne Rheinstein at Lee Jofa
Suzanne Rheinstein of Hollyhock in LA spoke at Lee Jofa and signed copies of the book “Inspired Styles” which features her inspirations as well as those of Barbara Barry, Kelly Wearstler, Allegra Hicks and other grand dames of design. Her audience was a who’s who of Dallas designers - Joe Minton, Tesa Turner and the elusive Paul Garzotto. Suzanne had asked me a couple of weeks ago for a list of antique shops in Dallas, so I sent her the link to Slocum St. She spent the day there and made quite a few purchases at the Mews. Don’t be surprised to see some of these at her store in LA - just proves that Dallas is the place to buy antiques.
