My husband is always asking for a healthy, broth-forward soup. My reply is this squash, chicken, and cannellini bean soup. Since many of my recipes begin with a game of “what can I make with my CSA box this week,” it should come as no surprise that this soup evolved from a Two Dog Farms CSA box.

Matzo Ball Soup
You might be asking yourself why a Sicilian girl is writing about matzo ball soup. One word. Husband. I wanted to impress my husband and what better way than homemade matzo ball soup. I set out on a quest to find a unique but delectable matzo ball soup.
Heirloom Tomato Soup
This recipe made me fall in love with heirloom tomatoes, which are often less acidic than their more traditional counterparts. The soup is more subtle in flavor than your traditional tomato soup and leaves you questioning the true ingredients. It is beautiful accompanied by a grilled cheese sandwich and glass of chardonnay.
Lobster Bisque
Cape Cod lobster is worthy of an opera. The sweetness of the tail meat, the tenderness of the knuckles, and smell of briny, salty Cape Cod water that lingers on your palate the next morning. This lobster bisque is my ode to Uncle Frank and my way of ensuring that I waste nothing. After we have enjoyed fresh steamed lobsters, I ensure all the meat is removed from the bodies and the legs have been rolled. The shells get combined with whatever vegetables I have readily available (carrot, leek, celery) and submerged in water to make a stock. The stock yields an extra depth of lobster flavor to the bisque.
