With winter starting officially as of this past Saturday, I’m finding myself seriously craving some soup. I’m more than ready to make some pressure cooker pho, pasta e fagioli, and even some carrot…

Sukalki is a traditional Basque meat stew made with onions, carrots, choricero peppers, peas and potatoes. In Basque fiestas, it is typical to hold sukalki cooking competitions, the most important is called Sukalki Eguna and it is held in the town of Mungia.

Am I insane for craving tomato basil soup in the dead of summer? In my defense, the house was cold because the AC is always on. I can't help but turn to Joanna Gaine's deliciously creamy tomato basil soup.
