Garlic Piperade Soup
"I first made this over twenty years ago--a Marian Morash recipe from the 1982 Victory Garden Cookbook. It was good then; it's good now. A Basque recipe, one can substitute chicken or vegetable stock for the beef stock."

So good! Next day poached eggs in the left overs, very nice! -
A very thick, very tasty soup. I, too, had to use canned tomatoes; I'm sure it's better with fresh. The grated cheese adds to it. Next time I will try adding garbanzo beans as Jess4Freedom suggests; that sounds good. Thanks for posting! -
Oh so good! I love garlic, so I had to tag this when I saw it. I am so glad I did. Just like any soup, it was even better the next day. I froze half of it for later too. I used canned tomatoes because they are not quite in season yet around these cold parts of Wisconsin, but I am for sure going to be making this again when they are back in season. I also added a drained can of garbanzo beans, just because I like them. Made and Reviewed for PRMR - Thanks! :) -
Super easy to make and quite filling too. I put more like 25 cloves of garlic in (used up what I had) and a whole red pepper. Decent tomatoes were hard to find when I was at the grocery store, so had to buy canned (bought whole, Marzano tomatoes). I'd like to try this again, but with fresh tomatoes when they're in season. I'd never blanched garlic before, but I love how easy it made it to peel and chop all those cloves! Thanks, Chef Kate! -

<p>I have always loved to cook. When I was little, I cooked with my Grandmother who had endless patience and extraordinary skill as a baker. And I cooked with my Mother, who had a set repertoire, but taught me many basics. Then I spent a summer with a French cousin who opened up a whole new world of cooking. And I grew up in New York City, which meant that I was surrounded by all varieties of wonderful food, from great bagels and white fish to all the wonders of Chinatown and Little Italy, from German to Spanish to Mexican to Puerto Rican to Cuban, not to mention Cuban-Chinese. And my parents loved good food, so I grew up eating things like roasted peppers, anchovies, cheeses, charcuterie, as well as burgers and the like. In my own cooking I try to use organics as much as possible; I never use canned soup or cake mix and, other than a cheese steak if I'm in Philly or pizza by the slice in New York, I don't eat fast food. So, while I think I eat and cook just about everything, I do have friends who think I'm picky--just because the only thing I've ever had from McDonald's is a diet Coke (and maybe a frie or two). I have collected literally hundreds of recipes, clipped from the Times or magazines, copied down from friends, cajoled out of restaurant chefs. Little by little, I am pulling out the ones I've made and loved and posting them here. Maybe someday, every drawer in my apartment won't crammed with recipes. (Of course, I'll always have those shelves crammed with cookbooks.) I'm still amazed and delighted by the friendliness and the incredible knowledge of the people here. 'Zaar has been a wonderful discovery for me.</p>
