Winter, like summer, provides its own unique bounty of vegetables that are perfect for a warm, hearty winter soup that keeps the chill outside where it belongs.  A tasty blend of leeks, onions, carrots, butternut squash, turnips, canned tomatoes and kale in a smooth, savory broth.  Topping it with a garlic and parsley pistou gives a pop in taste and texture that makes it the perfect starter on a cold winter night!  

It’s not just chicken…it’s perfectly roasted chicken. My recipe is a twist on the classic with rosemary and preserved lemons. Preserving lemons turns them into a soft, salty, sweet deliciousness that adds a pop of citrus to any dish, and will last in your fridge for months.  Serving them with roasted vegetables in the pan gravy make this meal perfectly comforting for the entire family!
