When John Harbaugh leads his Baltimore Ravens onto the field in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, he'll be taking on not only the rival 49ers, he'll also be facing his oldest foe: his younger brother, Jim, the head coach of the opposing team.

It promises to be a memorable game.
 
Want to make sure it's memorable? Just serve some of our special Super Bowl hors d'oeuvres and finger foods. Check out our menu.
 
We also have a great assortment of cheeses, pates--including fois gras--and crackers. Or, how about mini quiches, satays, curry puffs or olives? No need to go hungry on Super Bowl Sunday!

We know because of the line-ups at the Cuisine & Passion snack bar where we made soups, salads and sandwiches available to those in attendance. The highlight of the day--quite apart from the food, of course--was an appearance by Dr. William Davis, author of the New York Times bestseller, Wheat Belly. 

Nothing tastes better on a cold night than a steaming hot bowl of soup.  

Normally, we would simply give you a kitchen-tested recipe that is sure to warm the soul.

This month, however, we thought it might be better to give you the tools you need to make up your own recipes.

Start by putting prepared stock in a pot. (We always carry house-made veal stock, chicken stock and vegetable, if you need it. For something different, we currently carry lamb stock, as well.)  

Then, just add any vegetables you might have in the refrigerator such as carrots, celery, onions, peppers or zucchini. Heat it until the vegetables reach the desired doneness and enjoy!

If you want to add body, throw in some noodles or rice or a dash of cream. Perhaps you might want to purée some or all of the finished product. However you prepare it, you can be sure it will be a wonderfully warm pot of pure deliciousness.

Want to make it really easy to enjoy some great soup? Stop by and pick up one of our house-made soups, such as Apple Curry Butternut Squash, Tomato Fennel or Tomato Barley, or one of our soup-of-the-day selections.
