SARASOTA'S CREAMY BRUSSELS SPROUTS SOUP

Steps:

• Base -- In a large pot, add the butter and melt on medium heat. Then add the onion, fennel, leek and garlic and saute 3-4 minutes. Add in the brussels sprouts and cook 1-2 minutes until well combined. Add in the flour and mix well and cook an additional minute or two.
• Liquid -- To the fennel and brussels sprouts, add the white wine to deglaze the pan stirring well and then slowly add in the broth. Add in the nutmeg, just a pinch, you can always add more. Also add the rosemary, salt and pepper, again -- go easy, you can always add more. Cook another 5 minutes.
• Puree -- I like to use my immersion blender right in the pot, but you can always transfer a few cups at a time and puree in a blender. I like a little texture so I don't puree it until it is completely smooth, but that decision is up to you. If you use a blender, return to the pot once pureed and add the cream, a little at a time until you get the consistency you like.
• Now - depending on how thick you like your soup, you can always add a little extra flour to the cream as you add it to the soup and it will thicken the soup as it comes back up to a boil. I don't like mine too thick. Go easy, you don't want it too thick, just a little at a time.
• Finish -- Make sure you bring to a low boil and then reduce and just simmer for a few minutes until ready to serve.
• Garnish and Serve -- I like a toasted baguette with a tomato topping or an olive tapenade, but even just some gooey melted cheese baguettes are great. And some chopped chives and squeeze the lemon over the soup for a fresh taste.

SARASOTA'S SPICY CORNBREAD SALAD

Steps:

• Corn Bread -- Rough chop the corn bread. Some will be in crumbles and some in chunks. That is perfect. Put the cornbread on a baking sheet or cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours until dry and very crispy. Every 30 minutes I give it a quick toss.
• Vegetables -- In a large bowl, add the red and green peppers, onion, parsley, cilantro, scallions, garlic, jalapeno, salt and pepper and toss well. Then add in the corn bread and toss well to combine.
• Dressing -- In a small cup or measuring cup or small tupperware container, add the oil, vinegar, lime juice and chili powder. Add to the salad and lightly toss.
