For the Cold, Cold Winter

Puree of Artichoke and Tomato Soup

1 c tomato puree
1 small onion, chopped
pinch of thyme
1/2 c celery, chopped
4 c chicken stock
1/2 stick butter
1 bay leaf
1 tsp garlic salt
lemon juice
dash Tabasco
1 tsp sherry
1 15 oz. can artichoke hearts, drained

Saute in pan the butter, onion and celery. Add the Maggi, garlic salt and Tabasco. Stir together all remaining ingredients. Bring to a boiling point and simmer for 20 minutes. Put a little at a time into blender, starting on low speed. Taste for seasoning. Add a few drops of lemon juice and add sherry. Garnish with chopped tomato.

One of the family's favorite recipes is Chicken Supreme a la Gretchen (Cominetto, wife of my first cooking teacher), but I understand goose liver is out. If I hear a hue and cry for it, I'll add it to the blog.

Meanwhile, Happy 50th birthday, Lyn.

with love from
DAD
