This wasn’t a big hit with the kids, but I really enjoyed the combo: broccoli and leek soup served alongside the star of the meal, a chipotle patty melt with caramelized onions and toasted sourdough bread.
I found the soup to be a little bland – so I’m not surprised the kids only their obligatory, don’t-knock-it-until-you-try-it bites.
I like the idea of broccoli and leek. But this was pretty bland, so I ended up topping mine with a dollop of yogurt and a splash of hot sauce. (Find the recipe here at Bon Appetit.)
To finish off our Snowpocalypse ’11 comfort meal, Sim served up some steaming hot toddies, complete with pat of butter and cinnamon stick stirrer.
