Superb Squash Soup with the Best Parmesan Croutons
Warm up Christmas guests with a soup made with all different kinds of squash, such as butternut or onion squash. Season the soup to bring out the nutty, sweet flavor of the squash. Personalize this starter by adding pearl barley, dried pasta or some chopped bacon. Short on time? This soup can be made in a pressure cooker.
A mix of deliciously roasted vegetables are the perfect side dish for any Christmas main. You can prepare the vegetables a day ahead of time; just keep the roasting pan in a cold place to keep the veggies from discoloring.
Whether you serve this recipe as a snack or starter, it's a great way to showcase your favorite mushrooms. The mushroom juices that naturally cook out of the mushrooms are mixed with the butter and a little cream, perfect for bread dipping.
Make this mousse a few days before and then pep it up on Christmas day. Right before you're ready to serve your guests, dust some cocoa powder over the mousse.
Go for it with Jamie's basic tarte that you can stretch with pears, quinces, peaches, apricots or a mixture of all kinds of fruits. The combo of airy puff pastry, moist fruit and caramel will have your guests licking their plates.
