US Senate Bean Soup – Great Northern white beans, onions, garlic, potato, chicken broth, roasted ham, butter, sea salt & pepper.

Since 1901, this soup has been served every day in the dining room of the United States Senate in Washington, D. C. Our version has much more ham than the one served in the Senate, where of course they use “pork” for many other “needs”.

Hot Curried Cream of Tomato Soup – Fresh tomatoes (in season), red onions, tomato juice, olive oil, garlic, Madras curry powder, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Tabasco sauce, sugar, heavy cream, sea salt & pepper.

Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of chives!

Curried Butternut Squash Soup – Butternut squash, roasted sweet potatoes, onions, apples, apple juice, chicken stock, Madras curry powder, sea salt & pepper.

Madras curry, coupled with the tart apple juice, is the perfect complement to the roasted butternut squash and roasted sweet potatoes. Tart, sweet, and spicy…this soup really packs a punch!

Sweet Potato Corn Chowder

2010-10-29T15:34:00.000-07:00

We are making Sweet Potato Corn Chowder and French Lentil Soup with Sausage this week.

French Lentil Soup with Sausage

French green lentils, garlic sausage, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, beef stock, bay leaf, dried thyme, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sea salt & pepper.

Like other legumes, lentils are low in fat and high in protein and fiber. Lentils have a mild, earthy flavor, and they're best if cooked with assertive flavorings. The best, most delicate lentils are the peppery French green lentils. Served chunky and unadorned this simple, peasant-style soup is perfect on a chilly fall evening.

Harrigan's wine pairing - Pinot Noir - Cycles Gladiator

Sweet Potato Corn Chowder

Sweet potato, yams, corn, onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, butter, heavy cream, parsley, vegetable stock, sea salt & pepper.

French Country Chicken Stew - chicken, onions, celery, carrots, red potatoes, chicken stock, bay leaf, red peppers, bread crumbs, thyme, parmesan cheese, olive oil, sea salt & pepper.

Enjoy flavor, fight fat! Capsaicin, the compound that gives peppers a kick can help you lose weight. Besides adding fire to foods, capsaicin also reduces fat-building enzymes in the body. The red pepper flakes in this slow-cooked dish adds a slight surprise and makes this stew special.

Apple Soup with Crumbled Roquefort and Bacon - Red Delicious apples, Granny Smith apples, onions, butter, garlic, chicken stock, heavy cream, apple jack brandy, sea salt & pepper. Garnish - Roquefort cheese, bacon, apples, butter, and chives.

Get a daily dose of soluble fiber. A diet rich in soluble fiber can boost your immune system and fight imflammation. Apples are a great source this time of year..in season and local.

Our weekly menu selections!!!!

Soup One: tom kha gai - Thai Chicken Soup with Lemongrass -

This soup is alive with taste sensations, combining the sweetness of coconut milk, the citrus of lemongrass, lime juice, and lime zest, the saltiness of fish sauce and the fire of Thai chilies. We serve this soup with bean sprouts, mint leaves, basil leaves and lime juice (quarter piece), as a garnish.

Homemade chicken stock makes this a rich and nutritious selection.The health benefits are incredible, really. Here are just some of the advantages to preparing homemade stock:

Boosts immune system

Aids digestion

Increases efficiency of protein use

Provides easily digestible minerals, including calcium - consume homemade stocks if you suffer from osteoporosis

Soup Two:Curried Butternut Squash Soup - .
The recipe we are making this week includes sweet potatoes and apples. The squash and potatoes are roasted which caramelizes the vegetables. Add the tart apples and curry and you have a very complex soup. We add sauteed shallots and apples to our soup before serving. If you would like to know details on this garnish, email soups@seastreetsoups.com.

No offense to zucchini, but the health benefits of fall-harvest squashes far eclipse their summer cousins. The butternut is technically a fruit because it contains seeds. Rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants -- and succulent enough to warrant the moniker "butternut" -- this graceful, hourglass-like gourd is the perfect addition to an autumn meal.

Butternut Squash- provides significant amounts of potassium, important for bone health, and vitamin B6, essential for the proper functioning of both the nervous and immune systems. Squash's tangerine hue, however, indicates butternut's most noteworthy health perk. The color signals an abundance of powerhouse nutrients known as carotenoids, shown to protect against heart disease.
