Listen & Cook: Matty Matheson’s Caramelized Maple Parsnip Soup with Sunchoke Chips and Ricotta

Make no bones about it, soup season is coming in hot, and we’re firing up the dutch oven and ladling out audiobooks to keep you company in the kitchen. Ready to get cooking? Step one: check out Matty Matheson’s mouth watering and heartwarming recipe for Caramelized Maple Parsnip Soup (from his book Soups, Salads, Sandwiches), a silky brew that in Matty’s words, “will make you love your life when it’s pitch dark out at 4:30 p.m.” Step two: listen to audiobook clips below from some of this year’s most flavor-packed memoirs (a dash of Bread of Angels by Patti Smith, The Man of Many Fathers by Roy Wood Jr., and Book of Lives by Margaret Atwood will never go amiss). Once you’ve found your audio kitchen companion, press play as you chop parsnips, fry sunchokes, and set the heat to simmer like the seasoned soup maven you are.
