We’re suckers for gazpacho—any gazpacho. So we love when we find one that’s off the beaten path. Save those tomatoes for a BLT or salad, and give cucumbers and tropical pineapple a chance to shine in a summer soup. Sure, go ahead and cleanse, if you’re diehard—but this is just a delicious and refreshing party starter, if you ask us.
Soups
Tess Masters’ Minty Peas Please!
The classic combo of mint and peas rocks the pot! For the ultimate spoonful, boost with the sour cream, parsley, and lemon juice. It’s “souperb” hot or cold. Serve as shooters at your next party.
Carol Fenster’s Asparagus Soup
Use this beautiful spring soup as a template for any gluten-free vegetable soup you might like. Don’t have asparagus? Use broccoli or cauliflower to make creamy, satisfying soups. Use whatever you’ve got!
Slow Cooked Corned Beef and “Cabbage” Stew
Try this simple stew for your St. Patrick’s Day dinner, and make your family feel lucky. In this slow-cooker supper, Chris Prosperi swaps out the traditional cabbage in favor of its mini-cousin, Brussels sprouts.
