Tuscan Bean Soup
This hearty Tuscan soup is ideal for winter months. Begin with a charcuterie platter, then serve the soup with crusty bread and a crunchy salad. For dessert, my Chocolate Bread Pudding is ideal.
Lamb and Lentil Soup
This rich and hearty soup benefits from lamb bones. If available, ask your butcher to cut a couple of lamb ribs into thirds. (The soup is still delicious without them, but the layering of flavors won’t be as pronounced.)
Winter Minestrone
Paired with a robust red wine, this hearty soup will warm your soul on a dark winter’s night. Leftovers are welcome, and the soup tastes even better the next day.
