Artisanal Green Bean Casserole

There are few holiday dishes so polarizing as green bean casserole. If it was part of your usual Yuletide feast growing up, the stuff is sacrosanct and utterly essential to holiday joy. The bulk of it -- the french-cut green beans, cream of mushroom soup and French-fried onion strings -- must come blopping and clattering from cans and be baked in a casserole until it resembles a roiling green bog topped with a dry moss of frizzled onion straws. There are always seconds, and there's hardly ever any left over for a midnight refrigerator picnic.

If you didn't grow up with it skulking on the holday table, gosh darn does that stuff look ten-foot-pole nasty.

Cream of Mushroom Soup from Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Last night, I had dinner at Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It's a restaurant that is a throwback (but in a very good, comforting way) to the 1980's. It takes up the bulk of an old brick rowhouse on the edge of the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, the downstairs dining room is lined in wood paneling and mirrors (thus the eighties feel) and diners are perch on scarred chairs or along a padded built in seat that runs the length of the wall. Neither fancy, nor cheap, the food is the sort of stuff that you might make at home if you had enough time or inclination to use that much butter.

While they've never done their own cookbook (like their now-shuttered former peer The Commissary), they've posted one of their most popular recipes on their website. I had this Cream of Mushroom Soup last night and it was one of the best things I've eaten in weeks. Smooth, but not in a way that resembles baby food, the mushroom flavor sings and the shot of cognac gives it a welcome, warming buzz. If it tastes as good in my kitchen as it did in the restaurant, I may be saying good-bye to my previous muchroom soup favorite.

Searching for favorite fall soups

As the weather switches from the brilliant, hot days of summer, into the brisk, hauntingly lit days of fall, I immediately start craving soup. It's a reaction not unlike those of Pavlov's dogs. Shorter days and orange leaves and I want to dip a big-bowled spoon into a crock of something warm, savory and full of veggies.

Tonight, I'm planning on going home and whipping up a batch of carrot and butternut squash soup, much like this one I posted about last spring. I also intend to make this ground beef and veggie soup, this cream of onion soup and this quick, bright green, blended vegetable soup in the next few weeks. However, as you can see, I'm in something of a soup rut, craving only those big, comforting pots that I've made before. I need a little help unearthing some new, delicious recipes so that this fall and winter doesn't end up looking just like the ones that have gone before.

So Slashfood readers, what are your favorite soup recipes? They can be meaty or veggie, blended or broth-based. I'm looking for those recipes you turn to over and over again, to spice up my own soup rotation.
