Next weekend is Memorial Day – a.k.a. the unofficial commencement of summer – which means that cookout season is upon us. So fire up the grill and slap on a few… crab cake burgers?
Yes.
This week, my fellow Back Burner bloggers and I were asked to share a recipe that makes us happy.
Well. Food in general makes me happy, so I really could have used any number of recipes from my arsenal. Yet this kale salad kept creeping up into the forefront of my brainstorming, and I realized that it was the absolute perfect fit for this week’s theme.
One of my very favorite soup recipes is my mom’s classic vichyssoise, a French potato-leek soup that can be served hot or cold. My mom typically serves it piping hot accompanied by perfectly made grilled cheese sandwiches, and on a cold day that meal is the epitome of comfort food for me.
Well, for this Mother’s Day I’m paying homage to my closest confidant by sharing a new version of my mom’s soup: Sweet Potato Zucchini Vichyssoise.
