I just want you to know that this looks so good, I have had this tab open on my laptop since you published. I don't have an oven in Paris but I figured there has to be a way around that!
A kitchen torch! I don't have one, but, maybe? I do have a microwave that might be a convection oven of some variety but I'm not sure. It's a rental and we just moved in a few months ago.
Dear Colu, we made the soup last night. The taste was wonderful. My family comments included that the celery and cabbage were not cooked enough. Also, that the croutons were too soggy. I am sure this was all related to my cooking, but it was quested that the bread could be toasted before adding to the top of the pan. Have you tried this? I am certain that you have.
Oh my goodness, what an instant uplift - Sugo! Documentary Now! The stew!! Thank you, Colu. Sugo is adorable, congratulations. And sincere & deepest thanks for reminding me about Documentary Now! It is truly brilliant and I haven't seen the most recent (though I think about the Grey Gardens episode often). Also biggest thanks for the stew recipe, this is going to make my beloved very, very happy 💗
Thank you, dear Chloe! He's already brought so much joy. The Grey Gardens one is also a fave!! I hope you and yours have a lovely weekend and make stew. xo
Congratulations on the new puppy Colu he is just adorable ! The soup looks delicious and I think I’ll make it this week it is really starting to get cold here in Washington state
Ooh. It's snowing here today, and I've got a pot of Rancho Gordo white beans on the stove to make a version of this with a local smoked pork chop added to make my guy happy (though I think the cheesy croutons will do the trick.
Also -- Unlitro is nice! I can't drink much red now (wakes me up all night) but I had a bottle of that this summer when we had guests and it's such a lovely, old-fashioned, wine-with-food kind of wine.
Charlotte, that sounds perfect! I would use Rancho Gordo too. I hope you both enjoyed dinner! Agreed it's a perfect wine with good wine. Sugo says thank you! xx
It was delicious (tho someone picked around the vegetables. sigh) BUT i LOVE learning a new technique! I toasted the croutons in the oven before putting them on the soup for extra crunch, but I'm going to use this *all the time* this winter ... it's adds such great texture and flavor ... and while someone doesn't like vegetables, he's a huge fan of bread and cheese in all it's permutations.
Sugo is such a gentleman! My favorite pics of my pooch are with his paws crossed 💕💕💕💕 Thank you so much for sharing Pizza Night. Means the world. Looking forward to the next AMA... I am a huge fan of Utica greens, so my interest is piqued already. xo
I made this last night and it was absolutely delicious! I added guanciale, aged Gruyère and used Como for the croutons. My husband is still talking about it this morning. 😋

This makes me happier than you know! Gah, that's a tough one! What about a mini-kitchen torch?! I'll keep thinking...
A kitchen torch! I don't have one, but, maybe? I do have a microwave that might be a convection oven of some variety but I'm not sure. It's a rental and we just moved in a few months ago.
If it does have one that should do the trick!
Cabbage stew forever!
Forever!

You can certainly pre-toast! All ovens/stoves are different, so please feel free to tweak to your liking. Same with the cabbage!

Hahahaha! I'm so glad you made it and enjoyed it. It IS a fun trick. I'm a fan of bread and cheese too, ugh! x
Sugo! Such a cutie. And I recently discovered Unlitro! Talk about a fun bang for your buck.
He really is! And, I'm glad you're in agreement about the wine. It's so good and so reasonable!
