Pumpkin Carrot Soup with Mustard
At Empty Bowls, an annual fund-raising event held at the George R. Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art in Toronto, each patron gets to choose and keep a bowl made by a distinguished potter and sample soups prepared by the top chefs in the city. It benefits the Anishnawbe Street Patrol, which offers help to people who need food and shelter. One generous participant is Simon Kattar, the chef-proprietor of À la Carte Kitchen catering, who has contributed this zesty recipe to Great Soup, Empty Bowls (Whitecap, 2002, $19.95), which also raises funds for the street patrol.
