"This soup has a smooth texture and a light taste; it's well worth the effort. I remember my grandmother preparing it, filling the whole house with the smell of roasted garlic..."

weblink

What is a Weblink?

Creating a Weblink allows you to save other website links to your Recipe Box-and even dress up the page with an image and notes.

Declutter your “Favorites.” Free up some space on your internet “Favorites” by saving food-related links as Weblinks instead.
Jot it down, then save it. You can’t underline stuff on a webpage, but you can make notes in Weblinks to keep track of stuff you don’t want to forget about the link you added.
Share the wealth. Email any Weblink—notes and all—to friends and family to share your great finds!

Weblinks can also be organized in folders right in your Recipe Box, so it’s easy to keep them handy with all your favorite recipes.

reference

What is a Reference?

If some of your favorite recipes and/or cooking articles are from cookbooks or magazines, you can create a Reference to remind you where they are.

A quick alternative. Instead of entering your favorites as Personal Recipes, you can simply create a Reference for each, making note of the publication and page number.
Save them to your Recipe Box. Keep your References handy with all your other favorite recipes—even create folders for them.
Makes finding recipes easier. No more shuffling through that pile of books and magazines, desperately searching—a Reference will tell you exactly where to look.

When it’s not available online, creating a Reference is the best way to keep track of a recipe or cooking article you don’t want to lose.

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

Ingredients

1 bulb garlic
1/4 teaspoon olive oil
1 (1 1/2 pound) eggplant
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
6 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup tomato puree
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
Peel away any excess paper from the bulb of garlic, then cut the top off to expose the cloves. Rub exposed cloves with 1/4 teaspoon olive oil, and set onto the prepared baking sheet. Poke the eggplant all over with a fork; place onto baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until the garlic has turned golden brown and the eggplant is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool until cool enough to handle. Peel eggplant and chop into large chunks; peel or squeeze the roasted garlic from its skin, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, then stir in reserved eggplant, roasted garlic, tomato puree, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes.
Once cooked, carefully puree soup in batches in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return soup to the stove in a clean saucepan. Stir in half-and-half, season to taste with salt and pepper; cook over medium-low heat until hot.
