Announcing the Soup Week Challenge Winner
More than 350 people voted for a favorite soup this weekend. Thank you for participating in our Soup Week Challenge!
Soup Week: Mediterranean Chicken, Bean & Pasta Soup
This healthy soup is a hearty mixture of chicken (I used rotisserie chicken for ease), cannellini beans, vegetables, and pasta. It requires a small amount of chopping and then some inactive simmering time. In other words, it comes together with very little effort.
Soup Week: Stracciatella alla Romana
I first discovered Stracciatella at a little Italian cafe across the alley from Harrod's in London. It's very light, but warming and so flavorful. It's basically the Italian version of egg drop soup and is so easy to make, you can have a steaming bowl in your hands in under 15 minutes.
Soup Week: Delicieuse Soupe a l Oignon Francais
When I saw last week on Twitter that Fine Cooking Magazine was hosting a Soup Week Challenge, I immediately thought of my delicious French Onion soup recipe. I know it isn’t necessarily the most creative recipe when it comes to soup, but it sure is tasty and I thought it would make for some tantalizing food photos!
Soup Week: Almost Spring Vegetable Soup with Pesto
The kicker here is the pesto. Use your favorite recipe and make some from scratch…or plop a dollop of prepared stuff on this soup while it’s hot. The seasoning in the soup is minimal so you can let the pesto do the work for you.
If ever I’ve made a feel good soup…the kind that makes you believe you’re really nourishing yourself…it would be this one.
Soup Week: Thai-Inspired Coconut Chicken Noodle Soup
I used some organic chicken stock/meat and veggies/herbs I had on hand, along with Thai staples I keep in my refrigerator and pantry. Once you compile all the ingredients, this soup is quick to make and really delicious…I give it two thumbs WAY up.
Soup Week: Italian Sausage & Kale Soup
My original inspiration for this came after eating a similar soup at an Italian restaurant. I love the challenge of creating my own version of something I've tasted & this is the result.

Stracciatella with Organic Baby Spinach and Four-cheese Tortellini
Soup Week: Green organic asparagus soup with oven baked potato crumbs & cilantro

Soup Week: Tomato Artichoke Soup
If you have a stick immersion blender it will make this tomato soup very easy to prepare. If you don't have one, you can either run the soup in batches through your blender or just tough it out and eat it with chunky vegetables.
Soup Week: Grandma's Homemade Lentil Soup
The Mirepoix was very flavorful and added a great depth for the base of my lentil soup; I was thrilled with the flavor of the final product.
Soup Week: Roasted Tomato, Garlic, and Onion Soup with Cheese Crostini
No food speaks to our hearts like tomato soup. With the first spoonful, childhood days rush back and fill us with warm memories. Paired with grilled cheese sandwiches, nothing fills your tummy and soul like tomato soup. Try changing it up a bit by roasting the tomatoes first with garlic and onions. You will have a more refined, grown up flavor that you and your family will love!
Soup Week: Sunny Anderson's Roasted Tomato Soup
My friend Kelly was talking about living on grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup the last time I saw her and I got all inspired. I found Sunny Anderson's recipe for Roasted Tomato Soup and decided to give it a try.
After having tasted (and having fallen in love with) parsnips in restaurant, I knew I wanted to lay hands on this vegetable myself. My husband and I liked the soup. It has a mildly sweet taste but that is a fresh & slightly sharp flavor.
The New Rules for Pairing Food and Wine

Soup Week: Butternut Squash and Chorizo Soup
Blogger recipe: This soup, chock full of smokey sausage, sweet squash and a hint of curry is hands down one of my favorite recipes in Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. I made a few small changes, namely not pureeing the whole thing but reserving some delicious chunky veggies to add a little more texture, and using butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes.
Soup Week: Coconut Cauliflower Soup with Seared Sea Scallops and Cilantro Oil
Blogger Recipe: Coconut Cauliflower Soup with Seared Sea Scallops and Cilantro Oil
Soup Week: Tant Juju's Chicken Noodle and Rice Soup
Blogger Recipe: In celebration of my Tant Juju’s amazingly simple and delicious soup, this was the first dish I made in my new home. Try this recipe before winter is gone. Like Tant Juju, it’s impossible not to like.

Re: Sticky Chocolate Brownie
Jacquie: This is a user-generated post in our photo gallery, as opposed to a Fine Cooking recipe on the site. And, while we don’t have a tool we call a “recipe box” specifically, you can save any Fine Cooking recipe in your “My Favorites” folder (it serves as your recipe box). It’s easy: Sign in with your user name and password, and when you view a Fine Cooking recipe, you’ll see an orange bar above the recipe title and image, click on “ADD TO FAVORITES” and the recipe will be added to your Favorites folder. You have access to your Favorites any time you are signed in to the site. Once signed in, just click the word “Favorites” at the top right of the page. Hope that helps.
