I've been a little under-the-weather the last few days, so, this week, when Bertie and I visited my parents, we discovered that my mother had made a beautiful, healing chicken soup. A light, flavorful broth, the soup is filled with gorgeous shreds of chicken, noodles, fresh vegetables and herbs. I learned that the key to the exceptional flavor of the broth is that my mother first seasoned and baked the chicken breasts in the over--assuring a richness lacking in most soups.
We enjoyed the soup with freshly-baked corn muffins and a savory salad with shaved imported cheese, avocados, hearts of palm and all sorts of lovely things.
This was followed by a truly stunning apple tart glazed with apricot jam and liqueur. The natural flavor of the apples is heightened by this delicate glaze. And, look how beautiful it is! I love the way my mother lined up the thin slices of the apples. It looks like an Art Nouveau composition!
