Here’s a wonderful fall soup from Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa show on the Food Network. Some commenters felt that the recipe turned out overly sweet — you might want to try adding more squash, cutting back the apple cider, or using broth instead of water, if you like a more savory soup. (more…)
From the website, www.cooklocal.com, this easy recipe serves 4 (or 2 if you are really hungry!). You can readily add some pancetta or bulk sausage to the stuffing for a non-vegetarian meal. Cook the meat for at least 10 minutes at the start of the recipe, then proceed with garlic, beans, kale, etc., as noted. Just as yummy! (more…)

Yields one 9″x5″ loaf. (more…)
