When you're craving comforting, hearty dishes that warm the soul and won't cause a fuss, soup always satisfies. In our new cookbook Soup of the Day, author Kate McMillan captures the essence of each season in a simple pot, offering a unique soup recipe for every day of the year.
Cozy up with Chili con Carne in February, enjoying the robust flavors of chili powder and cumin. April is the perfect time to relish a Cream of Asparagus Soup garnished with a dollop of creme fraiche, welcoming the bounty of warm temperatures. In August, Watermelon Gazpacho with Goat Cheese Croutes makes a refreshing first course, its sweetness countered by a kick from jalapeno. Cool weather calls for chunky, savory meals in November; try the White Bean & Ham Soup with Corn Bread Croutons.
Each month begins with a calendar, offering an at-a-glance view of the season's delicious options. Whether you're preparing a weeknight dinner for family or entertaining a group of friends, Soup of the Day features recipes to suit the occasion.
