Soup Sunday

In lieu of the Academy of Country Music Awards, and my loyal support of my favorite food magazine, Food & Wine, Sunday's dinner consisted of two soups. In the March 2011 issue of Food & Wine Magazine, country music singer, Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland), teamed up with Atlanta chef Steven Satterfield to create four different soups with mix-and-match toppings for a dinner party. The toppings range from seared scallops to potato croutons to sauteed mustard greens. What a refreshing way to please all kinds of taste buds...

The two soups I chose were the Silky Cauliflower (with seared scallops, herb salad, and dijon-roasted cauliflower) and Chunky Tomato (with Fontina cheese, pan-fried potato croutons, and fennel-orange gremolata). I was intrigued with the topping they used, but as with anything choose whatever toppings turn you on.
