NOURISHING COMFORT

JUST A SLIGHT CHILL IN THE AIR causes us to pull out the Dutch oven and park it on the stove for the next six months. But if cool weather isn’t reason enough, these two recipes are — Cauliflower Hazelnut Soup and Curried Sweet Potato + Yellow Split Pea Stew.

Thanks to toasted hazelnuts, this cauliflower soup has great nutty flavor. Plus, it has the creaminess we love, without using dairy. And for a hearty bowl of flavor, split peas and sweet potatoes unite in a simple stew, page 27, that’s just as tasty as it is good for you.
