Recipes for the week
Soup and pasta for the week 🌞
Happy Sunday. I have been a busy bee this weekend and have two new recipes for you, plus a few reader favorites to (hopefully…) inspire your meal plan for the week ahead.
Tonight, I made a fantastic beef and barley stew with sweet vermouth. This recipe will be out in this week’s newsletter, but I have to show off how beautiful this dish is! It’s velvety, flavorful, and perfect for a windy, chilly day like today. Keep an eye on your email because this recipe will be hitting inboxes in the next couple of days.
New Recipes
I have two new recipes. The first is another variation of potato soup, and the second is a gorgeous roasted garlic tomato sauce with beef.
Chicken Potato Soup
Growing up, potato soup was on regular rotation in our house. My dad says that everyone has their own version of potato soup in West Virginia, and everyone firmly believes that their way is the only correct way. In most cases, though, West Virginia potato soup involves elbows, potatoes, a whole lotta butter, and milk. I’ve made many variations of this soup, and I’ve posted a few of them on my site. One version has mushrooms, this vegan recipe celebrates celery, and this is my creamy, dreamy version without pasta.
This take uses chicken in a rich, homemade broth. Since this version doesn’t use cream or milk, I finish it with copious amounts of grated Parmesan mixed with lemon zest and parsley. It adds the perfect amount of richness and a bright herbiness that rounds out the flavors spectacularly.
Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce with Beef
This roasted garlic tomato sauce with beef is a super fun way to switch up spaghetti night this week. Roast the garlic the night before or the morning of to save yourself time at dinner.
