The kettles in our airy 10,000 square-foot kitchen simmer up an average of 4,000 soups each day. Imagine the aroma of celery, carrots, and onions wafting through the hallways to greet you on arrival to work every morning. Volunteers and staff alike at God’s Love relish this daily gift for the senses. Our creative Chefs and Registered Dietitian Nutritionists develop new soup recipes throughout the year, recently adding potato leek with white bean, and lemony lentil quinoa to the menu. We are very excited to be rolling out these soups, aiming, as always, to satisfy our clients’ palettes while keeping their nutritional needs at the forefront of our minds.
As the season cools down and the need for soup heats up, we thought we would spotlight a new favorite of our Senior Sous Chef Andre. Follow his lead and consider trying this Southeast-Asian-inspired chilled soup, in which sweet and savory flavors merge with the apple’s tartness. It all comes together to produce a healthy late-summer/early-fall chilled treat.In the spirit of Southeast-Asian hospitality, we recommend you serve this soup family-style. If high cholesterol or weight is a personal concern, think cup versus bowl and/or blend in non-fat Greek yogurt as the finish.
Thank you for sharing, Chef Andre!
