Mahi Mahi Fennel and Potato Chowder – Episode 53

Written by , Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, Dinner, Fennel Pollen, Fish, Lunch, Main Dishes, Meat, Soups, This Week's Feast, Vegetables

I love cold nights warmed by steaming bowls of soup. It’s soup season and I fully intend to take advantage of it. Freshly made, reheated, at home, out with friends… it’s one of my all time favorite comfort foods.

MahiChowder4

Did you ever watch the Seinfeld episode where they aren’t allowed to buy soup anymore? I always get so frustrated when people have food to eat, on a show, and they can’t. I don’t know why it bothers me so much. But, it does. I think I would be devastated if I had to wait one year to come back for soup.

MahiChowderDo you like fennel? I didn’t think I did. But, I’ve discovered that I do. Especially in Mac and Cheese, roasted, and in soups.

I have recently tried fennel pollen, from Pollen Ranch. Abundant Harvest Organics is going to start selling it as an add on and they sent me some to try. So far I’ve used it on Roasted Fennel Pollen Potatoes, on Savory Baked French Toast, and in today’s Chowder. It adds this great, “je ne sais quoi” to a dish.

Written by , Posted in Appetizers, Cheese, Dinner, Fruit, Lunch, Main Dishes, Roasting, Soups, Vegetables, Vegetarian

Roasted Vegetable Soup

Recipe Type: Soup, Main, Dinner, Lunch, Appetizer, Vegetarian
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1 butternut squash (or winter squash), quartered
  • 1 yam (sweet potato), quartered
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 head garlic, top sliced off
  • 1 watermelon radish (or 1/4 Korean daikon radish), quartered
  • 1 rutabaga (or 1 large turnip), peeled, if desired, cut in 6 pieces
  • 2 T butter
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1-2 t salt
  • pinch pepper
  • pinch cayenne
  • pinch nutmeg
  • pinch ginger
  • 1 C milk
  • 5 C water (or vegetable stock)
  • 1 t maple syrup
  • 2 t lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar)
  • croutons, for topping
  • parmesan cheese, for topping
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. Drizzle garlic with olive oil and wrap in foil. Toss remaining veggies with olive oil. Place on two baking sheets and roast (flipping once partway through, if desired), for 60-75 minutes (radish, garlic, yams, onion, and rutabaga may take the lesser amount of time). Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Scrape squash pulp from skin, squeeze garlic from skin.
  2. Heat soup pot. Add butter and brown (watch it so it doesn’t burn). Add veggies to browned butter, along with olive oil, and seasonings. Cook 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add water and bring to a boil. Turn heat off, add milk, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Blend with hand blender (or in a regular blender – be sure to remove the plug from the lid and cover with a clean towel) until smooth. Add more water if it’s too thick. Taste, adjust seasoning if desired. Return to heat and cook a few minutes more, but don’t boil.
  4. Serve topped with croutons (cubed bread, tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, baked at 350F for 10-15 minutes).
