As the holidays approach, it\u0092s natural for us to feel both festive and frantic and increasingly stressed as our list of errands gets longer than Santa\u0092s. To make sure that this season is about true holiday spirit and joyous time with family and friends, heed the sage advice of an entertaining expert who shares her simple secret . . . serve soup! &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u0093Most soups are not complicated to make but they can have magical powers to help restore the soul, nurture and inspire the spirit and make a holiday party great fun for the host and guests\u0094 says Jana Kolpen, author and illustrator of the enchanting fable and cookbook, \u0093The Secrets of Pistoulet,\u0094 and designer of the Pistoulet Dinnerware Collection for The Pfaltzgraff Co. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Kolpen is a passionate cook who loves to entertain at home. Her successful motto is, \u0093keep it fresh, seasonal, colorful and simple.\u0094 Depending on the soup recipe, it can be served as first course, entr\u00e9e or even a delicious snack. Regardless of its place at meal time, a simmering pot of soup warms guests\u0092 hearts and keeps the cook out of the kitchen and part of the celebration. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u0093I\u0092ve always loved to entertain friends and family, and I discovered the magic of soups while on a journey in France where the ritual and the spirit of making soup for others became a life transforming experience,\u0094 says Kolpen. She left New York City for a small farmhouse in southern France to give herself a fresh start after some devastating life experiences. Kolpen\u0092s adventures led her to write and illustrate \u0093The Secrets of Pistoulet\u0094 in which she includes several soup recipes that chronicle her inspirational journey such as the Potage of Spirit and the Potage of Passion. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>According to Kolpen, holiday entertaining should be a multi-sensory experience that satisfies more than just your guests\u0092 hunger. Kolpen collaborated with The Pfaltzgraff Co. to design a full collection of dinnerware and home accessories to complement her soup recipes and entertaining philosophy. Each piece in the Pistoulet Collection is hand painted with brightly colored flowers, vines and vegetables inspired by Kolpen\u0092s illustrations in her book. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u0093I encourage mixing and matching dinnerware pieces to create whimsical and fun table settings. Place large soup crocks and tureens right on the dinner table and let guests serve themselves and participate in the full ritual of the holiday feast.\u0094 The Pistoulet Collection includes large, colorful soup tureens with ladles and a variety of soup bowls named after Kolpen\u0092s favorite soup recipes such as the \u0093Potage of Compassion\u0094 soup crocks and the \u0093Potage of Spirit\u0094 soup bowls. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Kolpen recommends the \u0093Potage of Spirit\u0094 soup as a good party starter. Using the freshest ingredients in the recipe she creates a hearty and healthful meal to nourish guests. The simple soup combines aromatic garlic, earthy potatoes and bright orange carrots (recipe included). But she does warn that \u0093the spirit can express itself in many odd and wonderful ways. Be prepared for shocking behavior!\u0094 &#13;<\/p>\n<p>The Potage of Spirit (makes 6 servings) &#13;<\/p>\n<p>2 medium garlic bulbs (about 16 cloves) &#13;<\/p>\n<p>4 14 ounce cans reduced-sodium chicken broth &#13;<\/p>\n<p>3 medium potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into \u00bd inch pieces. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>3 carrots, peeled and chopped (1 \u00bd cups) &#13;<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup whipping cream &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Salt and pepper to taste &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Snipped fresh chives to garnish (optional) &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Directions: &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Combine broth, peeled garlic cloves, potatoes and carrots in saucepan, cover with water and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool slightly, puree in blender or food processor until smooth. Return to saucepan to heat through adding whipping cream, salt and pepper and chives for garnish. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>The chip-resistant, highly durable Pistoulet Collection is a great dinnerware choice for holiday entertaining. It is safe in the dishwasher, oven, freezer and microwave and features a broad range of dinnerware, serveware and accessories. The collection is available at major department and specialty stores nationwide, including J.C. Penny, Amazon.com and more than 70 Pfaltzgraff stores at outlet malls across the country. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>For more recipes from \u0093The Secrets of Pistoulet\u0094 log on to The Pfaltzgraff Co.
