PURéE OF WINTER VEGETABLE SOUP
Living in France, I was always impressed by the bags of mixed vegetables, called soupe, sold in farmers' markets and supermarkets alike. The bags usually included an onion, carrots and celery, a leek, a turnip or two and a bouquet garni consisting of a bay leaf, a sprig of thyme and another of parsley. I've added root vegetables to this ginger-scented soup, which is inspired by the many simple suppers I enjoyed in the homes of French friends.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about three minutes. Add the leeks and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about five more minutes. Add the carrots, kohlrabi, turnips, potatoes and water or stock. Bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, wrap the ginger, bay leaf, thyme, parsley and peppercorns in cheesecloth. Tie them up to make a bouquet garni, and add to the pot. Add salt to taste (about 2 teaspoons), reduce the heat, cover and simmer one hour. Remove the cheesecloth bag, and discard.
- Blend the soup until smooth with an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender. (Do not put the top on tight; cover the top with a towel to prevent hot splashes.) Pour the soup through a strainer into a bowl; press the soup through the strainer with the back of a ladle or with a pestle. Return to the pot and heat through. Add lots of freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt, and serve.

PUREED VEGETABLE SOUPS
When we crave foods that are hearty and satisfying, pureed vegetable soups fit the bill on both counts. Pick your vegetable -- almost any will do -- and before you know it, you'll be dipping a spoon in a comforting, creamy bowlful that's surprisingly low in fat and calories.

PUREED WINTER VEGETABLE SOUP
This is from the November 1997 Good Housekeeping Magazine. It's a delicious soup and a first course that I often serve for Thanksgiving. I usually don't use the cream, but if using, to keep the dish lower in fat, I've used fat free half and half.

The onion can be substituted with one leek or two large shallots (this is true for the variations, too) and the spinach with other leafy greens, such as chard, kale, watercress, or sorrel. For a soup with brighter color, the leafy greens are added in the last five minutes of cooking, just so they are given a chance to wilt.

Proceed with recipe, simmering for about 15 minutes, then remove from heat. Puree, then add 3/4 cup each heavy cream and buttermilk. Thin with water or stock to reach desired consistency. Cool soup completely before refrigerating in an airtight container, up to 3 days; thin with stock or water as necessary before serving. (serves 6)
- FOLLOW THE BASIC RECIPE, omitting garlic and sweating 1 Bosc pear, peeled, cored, and quartered, along with the onion. Then add stock or water and use 1 1/4 pounds winter squash (butternut, acorn, or kabocha), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks, for the base vegetable, and proceed with recipe to simmer until tender and puree.

Steps:
- With a mortar and pestle, grind together rosemary and kosher salt. Pour in olive oil and continue to mash until the oil starts to turn a darker green. Set aside for about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.
- Place the squash, rutabagas, parsnips and potatoes in a large bowl. Pour the olive oil mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl. Toss vegetables with oil to coat.
- Evenly spread vegetables on the prepared pan. Roast 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned and cooked through. You may need to remove some of the smaller pieces from the oven before all of the vegetables are cooked to avoid burning them.
- While the vegetables are roasting, simmer chicken stock in a large pot over medium low heat. When the vegetables are done add them to the simmering chicken stock and simmer together for about 10 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot, or puree in batches in a blender or food processor. Add extra broth or water if the soup is too thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve in warmed bowls, garnishing each serving by drizzling a quarter teaspoon of balsamic vinegar and a quarter teaspoon of white truffle oil over the soup.
