soooo…the soup weather is finally here. and with a vengeance. i planned out all my meals for the next week or so this morning (wearing my fleece…INSIDE my house…) and there are no less than four soups coming to chino house in the next 10 days or so. some are repeats…autumn harvest is definitely coming back…i bought celery root at whole foods in chicago, since no one in little rock carries it. and some are new…lentil sausage from barefoot in paris. i’ll post recipes if they are yummy.

speaking of soup, today i had this divine soup for lunch from boulevard. if you have not had lunch yet today OR if you need a dinner plan, get thee down to boulevard immediately and get their soup with sauteed spinach…get a whole quart and a loaf of bread to sop it up, you will NOT be sorry. it looks and sounds strange but it is delectable, i tell you. olive oil. parmesan. lemony. garlicky. yummy. oh my goodness. only boulevard can make soup this good. i will be licking my lips for the rest of the day.
