White Bean and Rosemary Soup

Any soup that starts with canned beans sounds like a cheap-out, but this one is gloriously full of flavor because of the zing of the raw garlic, the earthy freshness of the rosemary and the hint of umami from the Worcestershire. You can heft this up with a lot of things - greens like spinach or kale; meaty proteins like chopped ham or sausage; or the crunchy texture of croutons or panko. But I still love it as a silky smooth (and unintentionally vegan!) soup on its own with a hunk of bread to scrape up all the extras.

Up Your Cocktail Game With This Easy Trick

For a party I am always looking for the intersection of easy and ‘looks impressive’. You want to make guests feel like you’ve gone the extra mile but you also don’t want to be running around worrying the whole time.

So I loved the idea of flavoring your own liquor in advance to make it cocktail-ready. You look impressive with very little work and you have something a little different for people to get excited about. Instead of mixing ingredients the day-of you’ve already infused your ingredients together. It’s the perfect combo.

We got the details from Chris Joseph of Wild Roots - which makes their own infused spirits if you want to remove a step - and he gave us the details on two potential liquors you can infuse.
