National Soup it Forward Day

March 1, 2019 By Eric Lofdahl

Tom Kha Gai in a Dutch OvenWho doesn’t love a hot bowl of homemade soup? There are so many different varieties to make, and whatever you choose is guaranteed to warm your home, body, and soul. That’s something especially important during a cold and snowy winter like the one we have had this year. Here at the Clay Coyote, we are all big fans of soup. Since I started here, it seems like somebody has brought soup for lunch nearly every day I have worked. Often times, that soup is shared, whether it is just a bite or a whole bowlful.

Recently, I learned about a great nonprofit organization called Soup Sisters that takes sharing soup to the next level. Based out of Canada, Soup Sisters was founded on March 3, 2009. Since then, they have made over 1.5 million servings of soup for victims of domestic violence. Each month, volunteers in 25 cities across Canada and the United States come together to make over 10,000 servings of homemade soup for those in crisis.

Each year, the anniversary of their founding is celebrated by a day of soup sharing called National Soup it Forward Day. On that day, the organization encourages people to bring homemade soup to a family member or a friend in need. Whether that means they are dealing with financial troubles, the loss of a loved one, or illness, bringing them a hearty, nourishing soup shows them you care and will lift their spirits.

To recognize this day, I want to share a recipe for you to try and encourage you to share it with friends or family.

This recipe comes from Andrea Jensen, who shared it with Betsy, who in turn shared a bowl with me earlier this week at lunch. It is recipe for a Thai soup called Tom Kha Gai. Made with coconut milk, chicken, and a great variety of veggies and seasonings, this soup is absolutely packed with flavor. You can see the recipe she used below.

Tom Kha Gai

  • 3 (6) split, boneless chicken breasts, split again where wide and sliced
  • 2 cans coconut milk (don’t use lite coconut milk)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 small shallot, diced
  • 5 dried lime leavesTom Kha Gai in a Dutch Oven
  • 1 medium-hot chili, minced
  • 1 lime, peeled in strips, then quartered
  • 1 more lime, quartered
  • 2 inches fresh ginger, grated
  • A few teaspoons green curry paste
  • Handful of basil, shredded
  • 1-2 cups diced tomatoes, drained
  • 10 mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ yellow pepper, slivered
  • Handful of snow peas, sliced
  • 3-4 carrots, sliced or julienned
  • Handful of spinach, shredded
  • Thin whole wheat Asian noodles, broken into short lengths (Santa Maria round squiggly noodles are recommended)
  • Wasabi-sesame seasoning

Combine coconut milk, broth, shallot, lime leaves, chili, mushrooms and 1 teaspoon curry paste in stockpot. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Add oil from lime peel, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, yellow pepper, carrots, snow peas, and noodles. Simmer 2-3 more minutes.

Add chicken and juice of peeled lime. Gently simmer 5-8 more minutes (beware of overcooking, but make sure your chicken is done). Help noodles separate if necessary.

Stir in shredded spinach, and adjust seasoning to taste with extra lime, grated ginger, and curry paste.

Garnish with basil and wasabi-sesame seasoning.

 

Dutch Oven on Direct FlameBetsy cooked this up in one of Clay Coyote’s Flameware Dutch Ovens, right on the stovetop. I’m sure the kitchen smelled amazing throughout the whole process, as even the small bowl I had was an aromatic treat.

Whether you try this recipe yourself or make one of your personal favorites, remember to share it with somebody in need this Sunday. Spread the word on social media by using the hashtags #HugInABowl and #SoupItForwardDay.

Winter Squash with Caramelized Onions (Cassolita)

May 5, 2012 By Valerie

May is international tagine month. We are holding our 2nd annual tagine recipe contest. First prize will be decided by our panel of judges, and to the victor goes one of our new Flameware Dutch Ovens. Tagine month has inspired me to explore outside of my tagine comfort zone. I always look first to Paula Wolfert for recipes. As I was thumbing through her newest book, The Food of Morocco, I realized I forgot to post this AMAZING recipe last Winter. I used my fresh butternut squash and onions from my CSA share from Loon Organics.

Winter Squash with Caramelized Onions (Cassolita)
2 pounds butternut, calabaza, or kabocha squash, halved lengthwise and seeded.
3 T vegetable oil
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 pounds onions, thinly sliced into rounds
Salt
1/3 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
2 T sugar, plus (optional) 1 T
1/2 cup dark raisins
Fresh ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

2. Place the squash cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Add 1/2 cup water, cover with aluminum foil, and bake until the squash is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and, once cool enough to handle, scoop out the pulp into a large bowl.

3. Heat the oil in your cazuela (or skillet), Toss the almonds and cook until golden. With slotted spoon, remove to a plate and set aside.
4. Saute the onions over medium heat until translucent. Add salt to taste, 2 T of the parsley, 2 t of sugar, cinnamon, and raisins and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 more minutes, or until the onions are caramelized.

5. Gently fold the onions into the squash. Season with pepper and more salt, if necessary, and, if you wish, the extra T of sugar. Serve warm from your cazuela.

Preserved Lemon and Green Olive Tagine Recipe

March 9, 2012 By Valerie

I preserved lemons to make this tagine recipe from Mourad’s book, “New Morocco.” Mourad describes this as,”an ultra classic Moroccan chicken dish- and a great starter recipe for test driving your new tagine.” I thought it was a great way to introduce my guests to Moroccan cuisine. The familiarity of the ingredients didn’t intimidate those who might be less interested if I had chosen the braised oxtail recipe. The chicken was tender, and fell off the bone. The lemons and green olives provided unexpected pops of flavor. The real star of the meal was my pottery tagine. It seared, sauted, simmered, and served the meal. My favorite part is when the lid is lifted, and a whoosh of heat and steam give anyone standing too close an instant facial.
