Although it requires lots of ingredients, this soup — popular at Vietnamese restaurants — is worth the effort. Make the stock ahead so it takes only minutes to prepare for dinner.
Choose your favourite way to cook cobs of corn: boil or steam for 8 to 10 minutes, grill over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or microwave at high for about 10 minutes. Then brush with butter or olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Or dress them up with one of these butter, mayonnaise or olive oil toppings. Each topping makes about 1/3 cup (75 mL), enough for 6 cobs of corn.
This soup is so easy, you can throw it together in minutes, even at the last second on a busy morning. Opening up a container filled with these delicious, steaming flavours is like getting a big, warm hug from home. Look for packages of fresh tortellini in the refrigerated cases at the grocery store.
This is a great dish to serve at a party, even non-vegetarians will love it!
Taking a bite into one of these soft, moist cookies is like eating the top of a pumpkin cupcake. The cinnamon sugar topping gives them a satisfying crunch.
A recipe steeped in tradition is always part of the Jasper Christmas, starting with the four Christmas in November programs and carrying right through to the real Christmas and New Year's Eve. Serve with Classic Crème Anglaise.
