ROSEMARY & BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP, ITALIAN HERB BREAD, & MINI RAINBOWN SPRINKLE COOKIES
Happy Thursday!
Phew... we survived another Matzo Ball week, and this one was definitely one for the books!
We cooked our hearts out and managed to fulfill nearly 90% of the waitlist orders. To make it happen, we went through more than 70 pounds of carrots, 13 whole Amish chickens, and what felt like an endless supply of matzo meal. There is truly nothing that makes me happier than knowing that more than 80 families gathered around their dinner tables to enjoy a bowl of our Matzo Ball Soup. Weeks like this remind me why I started Soup(er) Delivery in the first place!
On the menu for WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23rd is ROSEMARY & BUTTERNUT SQUASH CHICKEN SOUP, ITALIAN HERB BREAD, & MINI RAINBOW SPRINKLE COOKIES. I don't know about all of you, but I am craving fall flavors even though the weather outside is still screaming summer. So this week's soup is a perfect fit as it features the tasty combination of butternut squash and rosemary, fun-to-eat noodles, and finished with lemon zest and thyme to add freshness. It has all the flavors of fall, in fact every time I make this soup all I can smell is Thanksgiving, and yet it won't feel too heavy to eat in this heat.
The soup begins with sautéing ground turkey with fresh rosemary in a little bit of butter in the pot. After the turkey is browned, butternut squash, sliced celery and leeks are dropped in along with a little celery seed and fresh thyme.
Once softened, homemade chicken stock and campanelle (cone-shaped pasta) are added and brought to a boil. After the noodles are cooked, the soup is garnished with a dollop of sour cream, lemon zest and fresh thyme.
The bread companion this week is my ITALIAN HERB BREAD. This delicious bread is filled with garlic, butter and fresh herbs. This bread is a fan favorite and the fresh herbs in it will make a perfect compliment to your soup.
On the menu for dessert are Payton's MINI RAINBOW SPRINKLE COOKIES. They are soft, buttery, and loaded with colorful rainbow sprinkles for a fun, nostalgic bite that tastes just as good as it looks. - Payton from Baked by Brown Butter
