Beet & Apple Soup
Jan 9, 2023
You will never want to buy broth again after tasting this homemade chicken stock, which couldn't be simpler to make, thanks to your slow cooker. Homemade stock with no added salt is not only far more delicious than store-bought, but it also allows for better control over the amount of sodium you add to your recipes. Use whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, including the green tops of leeks and shallots, and celery leaves.
Either warm or cold, this thick, creamy soup, with its vibrant accents of vinegar and sour cream, makes taste buds sing.
Elizabeth Baird\'s make-ahead appetizer salad just needs assembling before guests arrive. The servings can wait, lightly covered, on plates in the refrigerator. Add a few cherry tomatoes cut in wedges, if desired, and drizzle on the dressing just before carrying the salads to the table.
These colourful vegetables look best when all the pieces are uniformly cut. Look for a white wine vinegar that has 6 per cent acetic acid indicated on the label, such as Maille.
Dazzle guests with this classic party appetizer that features a Caesar cocktail sauce.
All you need is a few minutes of start-up time to make this stock because the stove does the rest. And those few minutes will be more than worth it because, as Patricia Becher of Richmond, B.C., says, "I used to think that making soup was difficult but I have discovered that a good stock is the whole trick."
