THE PERFECCT INTRODUCTION OUR TASTING FLIGHT OF FIVE
In our effort to eliminate the anguish of choosing between greatness, we now offer
a tasting flight of five of our legendary soups. A perfect way to decide on your
favorites, or to continue to indulge in all of them, virtually simultaneously.
ONE OF EACH FLAVOR (10 oz. EACH) $15.00
SEAFOOD BISQUE
(10 oz.)
$4.49
IF ONE RECIPE MADE AL THE RENOWNED SOUP CRAFTSMAN THAT HE IS TODAY, IT IS PROBABLY THIS ONE.
Other "bisques" are merely flavored with seafood; any actual pieces require a soup
search party to find. Ours is loaded with fresh-caught North Atlantic seafood.
And it's lovingly cooked and impeccably flavored with Al's imimitable spice medley. When
the New York Times called Al's treasures "Art, not soup" we think they had this in their
mind (and their spoons).
NUTRITION / INGREDIENTS
BROCCOLI & CHEESE
(10 oz.)
$3.49
WHEN PRESIDENT BUSH (THE ORIGINAL) FAMOUSLY SAID HE DIDN'T LIKE BROCCOLI, WE
IMMEDIATELY SENT HIM SOME SOUP.
We never heard back, but we like to think that we changed his opinion. This
vegetarian soup is a stunning blend of peak-of-perfection broccoli and cheddar cheese,
a pure and simple pleasure. One deeply satisfied user wrote to us and said "How can
two basic ingredients add up to something so spectacular? What's Al's secret math?"
NUTRITION / INGREDIENTS
ITALIAN STYLE WEDDING
(10 oz.)
$3.49
FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN TO AN AUTHENTIC ITALIAN WEDDING, WE CAN
REPORT THAT THE WINE, THE FOOD, AND THE JOY ARE EXTRAORDINARY.
Here, we can only deliver you the middle one, but we're confident you'll find it
memorable on its own. Our Italian Wedding Soup is richly flavored, long-simmered, and
the turkey meatballs add another robust dose of authenticity. Crack open a vintage
chianti, turn up Frank Sinatra on your iPod deck, and you'll enjoy happlily ever after.
NUTRITION / INGREDIENTS
TOMATO BASIL
(10 oz.)
$3.49
TOMATO AND BASIL IS ONE OF THOSE CLASSIC CULINARY PAIRINGS THAT INEVITABLY BELONG
TOGETHER.
And Al's combination of perky, fresh tomato flavor and a bright blast of basil is
as a perfect a version of the classic as you can get. Many of our soups shine with
their artful coming-together of multiple ingredients. Here, Al's (may we use the word?)
genius is manifest in the triumph of simplicity.
NUTRITION / INGREDIENTS
CHICKEN VEGETABLE
(10 oz.)
$3.49
WITH GRANDMOTHERS AROUND THE WORLD, FROM EVERY CULTURE, VOCIFEROUSLY CLAIMING THAT
THEIR RECIPE IS THE BEST, WE ENTER THE COMBAT ZONE OF CHICKEN VEGETABLE WITH FULL
RECOGNITION OF ITS DANGERS.
But we're fully prepared. The are of Chicken Vegetable resides in the stock, of course,
and Al's starts with chickens that he has personally selected, yielding a broth that is
dense with flavor. The vegetables are added at the right time, so they maintain they
cruciferous integrity and never become mush. We don't ever like to challenge the
wisdom of grandmothers, so we'll leave that to you.
