Summer Squash Soup

August 12, 2024 by George Graham 10 Comments

Summer Squash Soup

Slow simmered and puréed into a smooth, bisque-like creaminess, my Summer Squash Soup explodes with the fresh flavors of the season.

Potato and Brussels Soup

September 25, 2023 by George Graham 13 Comments

Potato and Brussels Soup

Potato soup is friendly and familiar—just like that old high-school BFF that visits once a year. The recipe has become a comfortable (and predictable) interpretation of a thick and creamy bowl of pulverized potatoes loaded up with cheese. And yes, I love it as much as you do. But with my Potato and Brussels Soup…

Heirloom Tomato Soup

You say tomato, I say soup.  It goes without saying that a steaming hot bowl of tomato soup is the ultimate comfort food. You know exactly what I mean–it feels warm and cozy just like that old pair of fur-lined slippers you refuse to throw out (c’mon, admit it). Tomato soup is quite good right…

Short Rib Onion Soup: The Best Soup on Earth?

For days after you’ve had this dish, your memory of it will not fade. In vivid detail, you will recall it all: the sweetness of the onions; the rich beef stock; the notes of rosemary and thyme in the pot; the chunks of tender beef short rib that add hearty flavor: the velvet cloak of…

The Long, Hot Simmer: Soulful Chicken Soup

Most every food culture takes pride in their version of chicken soup. It is as basic and fundamental a recipe as cooking gets. But, most folks haven’t a clue to how exceptionally delicious–no, heavenly–this dish can be. To learn the skill of making a rich, sublime soup of nothing more than chicken, vegetables, and water…

If you ask me, a dark Cajun roux is the secret ingredient that is the single most important building block of Cajun cooking.  So important, that for your convenience, we developed a jarred product we call Rox’s Roux–the deepest, darkest, and richest commercially available roux. This product will add consistency and quality to any Cajun…

Cream of Cauliflower, Garlic and Fennel Soup with Goat Cheese Crouton

These days, home cooks are moving toward freshly prepared, light, and healthy dishes.  However, Louisiana cooks don’t always follow conventional wisdom.

Gumbo Z’herbes

The heady aroma of fresh greens (collards, spinach, chard, and kale, to name a few) simmering on a stovetop is heavenly. And with just one bowl of this roux-infused Gumbo Z’herbes, you’re praying for a second helping. As in most culinary cultures, religion has an impact on the dishes of South Louisiana with gumbo z’herbes…
