From Splendid Soups
I was in a soup mood last night and, seeing that Peter is not a huge fan of veggie soups (except vichyssoise), I made this for me.
It was very good--sweet because of the caramelized onion and garlic/seasonings. I will cut back (AGAIN) on the red pepper flakes if I make again. Overall, this is a geat soup---the blend of wine, brandy, broth---was pleasant. I did not have a baguette so left that out but added the cheese and swirled a bit of the Romesco sauce through--subbed sour cream for the heavy cream also but that just added an extra tang.
I will do this again---for me.....Peter might like this too--
I was looking at those Sausage-Apple Empanadas as a side but didn't think I could indulge that much--sure look good though---sounds like they would be a good appy somewhere.
The Romesco sauce is great with cooked shrimp---IMHO!!
If anyone needs the recipe--I will be happy to post!!
