A flexible, comforting polenta soup inspired by a classic Chez Panisse dish
In short: Learn to master a versatile, porridge-like soup that adapts to whatever ingredients you have on hand. This simple base requires only polenta and stock, offering a perfect canvas for seasonal vegetables and aromatics.
This dish draws inspiration from a meal experienced at the Chez Panisse Cafe. The fundamental ratio involves simmering one-quarter cup of polenta or grits in one quart of stock. The preparation is highly adaptable; you might begin by sautéing aromatics like onions, leeks, or garlic in olive oil, and finish by incorporating greens such as kale.
Beyond the basic structure, the recipe allows for creative additions like pumpkin or sautéed mushroom garnishes. The creator emphasizes the importance of cooking as a means to support communities, particularly those impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, including service industry workers and families facing food insecurity.
