As September wanes, the kitchen warms with seasonal specialties. We do, however, have some leftovers — requests, that is. So please find for our readers cauliflower soup at Giardino, Thousand Island dressing at Aubrey’s and the Sauce of Reduction of Balsamic Vinegar on the involtini at Boccaccia. And do supply recipes for whole baked onions and whole baked garlic heads.
SALEWORTHY SOUP
Last week I pulled out the big red soup pot at our house, dusted it off from summer’s disuse, and made butternut squash soup. Soup’s on; it’s time. Dan Cobb wrote, “I just read your request for soup recipes, so here’s my favorite. I made this for a potluck gathering some time ago. A friend of mine who owns a restaurant not far from here tried it and immediately said he wanted it as another soup of the day. So, every few weeks, I go to his kitchen and make 5 gallons of it, which sells out in about three days. It’s his most-requested soup.
