An estimated four million people are coming to town to taste this insanely unique soup. No one from Virginia is going to be allowed into DC, which seems a bit extreme, but people, we’ve got to control the crowds coming to eat this soup. People are going insane over this soup’s combo of sweet potatoes, natural peanut butter, dash of garlic and red pepper flakes (to give it a tickle in the ribs)and red bell peppers. Nutty, if you will. Some people think that the estimates might be too high, but with its creamy, non-dairy richness, we need to be prepared for this soup to attract record setting crowds. Seriously, this guy in my neighborhood rented out his apartment for $25,000 to someone who’s coming into town to eat this soup. I hope he remembers to order by 11:00 on Wednesday. How frustrating would THAT be??

The Audicity of Nutty Sweet Potato
Carnival Style Black Bean
Carnival starts in Rio De Janeiro in February. But thanks to this black bean soup, it starts next week – in your mouth! Oh how strange, yet enticing. See what we’ve done is taken old fashioned black bean soup and turned up the volume on the party – adding wacky spices, some veggies, and orange juice. Yes, orange juice. Si!! Also, while making this soup we dress up in sparkly outfits and dance around the kitchen shaking maracas. So don’t be surprised if, while gobbling down this winter soup, you spontaneously burst into the samba. It happens to the best of us! Oh and you won’t be alone…this soup is enjoyed by everyone from community organizers to president elects to children at Sidwell Friends. Ole!
Sweet N’ Tart Butternut Squash
Oh boy do I like butternut squash soup! Like many butternut squash soups, this one is sweet and also smooth like a baby’s bottom. But this one has a little secret – apple juice! The sweetness of the butternut squash and the tanginess of the apple juice meet in the middle like James Carville and Mary Matalin. Oh and lest we forget, the curry sneaks up on you and makes you giggle with glee. I also like this soup because I get to use “‘N” in the title which makes me feel like I’m a character in a Charlie Brown special. I would have started a lemonade stand with Linus – Soup ‘N Lemonade – in the movie The Great Local Food Movement Charlie Brown. Oh that would be a good movie!
