Minestrone Romagna Style by John SpottiswoodThis is the way minestrone is made in Romagna.

Turkish Red Lentil Soup by John SpottiswoodI order this every time I go out for Turkish food. It is an amazingly flavorful and wonderful soup. It's always a little different wherever I have it, but it is always phenomenal. This recipe, culled from 2-3 that I found online, is no exception. It's a bit full bodied, almost like a stew, compared to others I have had. I loved… |
