    Silky Leek and Red Wine Soup

    Ingredients

    Four 1-inch-thick slices of peasant bread (4 ounces), crusts removed
    3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
    1 garlic clove
    Pinch of saffron threads
    3 medium leeks, thinly sliced crosswise (3 cups)
    1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon dry red wine
    3 cups chicken stock
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350°. Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet;

    brush with the oil. Bake until crisp, 10 minutes. Rub with the garlic

    and tear into 1-inch pieces.

    In a saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the saffron and all

    but 1/2 cup of the leeks. Cook over moderate heat until tender,

    4 minutes. Add the 1/2 cup of red wine; reduce over high heat to

    2 tablespoons. Add the stock; simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in the toasts

    and simmer 3 minutes.

    Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender. Return the soup

    to the saucepan. Stir in the cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon

    of red wine, season with salt and pepper and keep warm.

    In a nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil.

    Add the reserved leeks and cook over moderate heat until softened,

    3 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, form the leeks into four 2-inch rounds.

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cheese over each round. Cook over

    moderate heat until melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer the rounds

    to a plate and let cool until crisp.

    Ladle the soup into bowls, top with the leek crisps and serve.

    Ingredients

    4 large red bell peppers (2 1/4 pounds), stems removed
    3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
    1/2 cup fresh orange juice
    1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
    2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
    Salt and freshly ground pepper
    6 sea scallops

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 425°. Put the peppers on a cookie sheet,

    stemmed side down, and bake for 45 minutes, or until the skins are black.

    When they’re cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skins,

    cores and seeds. Finely dice 2 of the peppers.

    In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the garlic, onion,

    cumin and crushed red pepper and cook over moderately low heat,

    stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 10 minutes.

    Add the whole roasted peppers and the chicken broth and bring to a boil

    over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.

    Add the orange juice, orange zest and cilantro.

    In a blender, puree the soup in batches. Return the soup to the saucepan

    and season with salt and pepper; keep hot.

    In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until

    shimmering. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Add the scallops

    to the skillet and cook over high heat until richly browned on the bottom,

    about 2 minutes. Turn the scallops and cook on the second side for

    1 minute. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the scallops and

    diced peppers and serve.

    salt and pepper to taste

    tenderness. Brush with additional garlic oil, and turn occasionally

    to prevent sticking or burning.
