One goddess in particular, Eos, Goddess of the Dawn. Now doesn’t her résumé sound impressive! Well, in ancient Greece maybe more so… We’re keeping in-line with our Greek Week of flavors, with a wonderful Chardonnay crafted by Eos Estate Winery. Located in the Paso Robles wine region in Nothern CA, Eos has been perfecting estate varietals…

I may not be en route to the Greek Isles or pledging for a sorority, but my kitchen has been Greek-inspired over the last week. Why? Well, I’m not sure other than I have an abundance of lemons and fresh thyme to get creative with, and I do love the flavors of their cuisine. I…

I was so excited to try this soup, and followed the recipe to a T. I felt like adding 1 tsp cayenne seemed like a bit much, and so I added 3/4 tsp. It was still too spicy to eat by the end, even though I like spicy foods. Could I just add more cream to cool it down?
More awesome photos of killer looking food…..and you don’t even do this for a living…..good job!
Hi Erica, I know I already emailed you with my apologies and some tips that may help to calm the spice down! (For anyone else who runs into a similar issue with red pepper, if possible, add more cooked potato or carrot, which you can quick chop & steam in microwave if you have to. Also, more cream wand stock will help dilute, then you can reduce liquid on a slow heat till desired thickness). I have amended the recipe to call for less red pepper! Though mine wasn’t overly hot, I may have mis-judged what I put into the soup pot. Thank you for leaving a comment and letting me know. Respectfully, Lyndsy
Thanks Shawn! It’s a work in progress that’s for sure. This soup was really good, (minus the red pepper detail, yikes). I’m thinking a pesto post soon, so may need to compare recipes with you!
