Soup Party Preview: Ribollita (Bread Soup)

Ribollita (Bread Soup) - Seriously Soupy

It's finally here; the soup party! For the past couple of days, I have been thinking about nothing other than soup (not that this is any different of any other day), but mainly because people would actually be tasting my soup and not reading about my recipes or me stating how delicious, good and hearty they are. Tonight's event will include four soups (one of which is from a Russian cabbage and beef soup recipe by Rachel Mamane of Brooklyn Bouillon who won the fall soup contest) and this hearty (can't resist the term) ribollita. Similar to a minestrone soup (minus the red beans and the pasta), this bread soup includes kale, bread, and white beans and savory herbs like rosemary and basil. Another quick and simple fall soup, I can't wait to take some recipes out of my small kitchen and finally have people (other than Mr. Soupy) try them. If you can't attend, I hope you enjoy this comforting bowl of soup and perhaps you can join us for the next soup party...

Soup notes - the tasting part is the most exciting

Fall Soup Contest!

Tell me about your favorite fall soup and you might win this book and more!

First of all, thank you to everyone that voted and supported me throughout the Project Food Blog contest. Although I didn't move on past the 2nd round, I got a lot of the short-lived competition. I cooked a soup I never thought I would (Malaysian Mutton!), experimented with new ingredients that I will use again (hello, cardamom) and defined myself as a food blogger - not to mention discovered some amazing food blogs.

With the contest over, I've been able to focus and start organizing a fall soup tasting party that I am having at Jimmy's 43 in NYC. For this one-year anniversary of soupy/taste testing event, there will be soup games, door prizes, seasonal drinks, and the chance to try four fall soups as well as instructions on how to make them. I know the three soups that I will be making, but I wanted the fourth one to be a choice by you - the reader. Please click here to take this quick survey about what your favorite fall soup is and why. The winning response will be featured on the site and at the party and receive a copy of the book "Everyday Food - Fresh Flavor Fast." Good luck - the contest closes on October 12th and results will be posted on October 13th.

The soup event will be held on October 20th in NYC- if you are interested in attending, please email me at seriouslysoupy@gmail.com.
