He’s getting a head start on the deluge of internet searches for cold weather recipes come October and November - before the onslaught of holiday cooking takes over. He knows the yearly cadence to maximize his hits!

    Just me cooking: I made the soup according to directions, and it is yummy. I think you could take the butter down to 2 tbsp., as it ends up a little deliciously oily. For cheese, I used a chonk of feta (didn't add salt, upped the peppers) and a bit of milk to avoid a trip to the grocer. Turned out very rustic, comforting, and toothsome. The carrot & celery still have a bit of chew to them, and if you threw a bit of potato in there, you'd have proper stew. Thank you, Chef John, for another keeper!
