Continuing the dream thanksgiving...Now, we'll move into the dining room (it looks something like this, or this). As a first course we'll be having a pumpkin soup with bacon.
The pumpkin was in fierce competition with 101 Cookbook's Garlic Soup (deemed too rich), and The Dinner Files' Cider Onion Soup, pictured above because I just couldn't resist. I'll be making it over the weekend, when my house guests, sated and jolly, need something simple and pleasing to eat. I was also intrigued by this chickpea based tuscan soup.
If you're not a soup person, here are some good autumnal salads to make:
+ Warm Chestnut and Apple Salad
+ Arugula Salad with Manchego, Apples, and Walnuts
+ Autumn Salad with spicy walnuts and pears
Oh, I love your 'virtual thanksgiving'! What a good idea--all the fun and none of the dishes...
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning my tuscan soup. I hope you'll try it!
I am thoroughly confused and therefore made very happy by the Cider Onion soup. Very conflicted here.
