I think you should make this soup. I really do. It's delicious, hearty, and healthy - perfect for a meatless Monday dinner. And now, thanks to the New York Times, we know that it helps reduce calories. Who knew that cayenne pepper could be an appetite suppressant. Read all about it here.
I checked back in the New York Times cookbook for the original recipe and found that I liked Louisa's changes quite alot. Call it a soup or call it a ragout, doesn't matter. Either way, it's spicy and terribly appealing. I cut back the cayenne a little, but after reading the Times, I'd keep it in if you can handle it!
Thanks, Wendy. Passed this one on to a vegetarian friend, who really appreciated.
ReplyDeleteEve - happy to pass it on. It's great even for non-vegetarians. We had it with a little brown bread and it makes a filling meal.
