Get the recipe for Caraway Soup with Parsley Pesto (“Soup from Nothing”) here: bit.ly/3XDw940
The best recipe you’ve never heard of is...Soup from Nothing! Or, caraway soup. This soup from Romania is basically water and aromatics, and so much more than the sum of its parts.
Chris Kimball learned this in Transylvania from Oana Udrea, chef at Meșendorf 65. Caraway seeds, parsley, walnuts, and onions make a light, fragrant broth that’s completed with dense cheese biscuits. And a rare recipe that, even after decades of cooking, makes us rethink our ingredients entirely.
We admit, we were skeptical when Chris first told us that his favorite new soup is water, but it became a quick office hit.
