Recipe: Josh Thomsen's Artichoke Soup
Here's another in-a-snap soup for your Monday-night repertoire: this luxuriously creamy artichoke purée from Josh Thomsen of Berkeley's Meritage at the Claremont.
Recipe: Scott Conant's Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Shrimp, Farro, and Leeks
This soulful pumpkin soup, which Scott Conant served at his recent Beard House dinner, bears the chef's signature, rustic-meets-refined style. All that's missing is a hunk of crusty bread to mop up the last drops.
Recipe: Chilled Plum Soup with Green Grape Sorbet, Horchata Gelée, and Crispy Rice Clusters
This striking plum soup from Aureole's Jennifer Yee showcases an array of contrasting flavors and textures. If you make the sorbet and gelée ahead of time, the dessert becomes a completely feasible finale for your next dinner party.

Recipe: Chilled Corn Soup with Scallion Toasts and Smoked Salmon
We like the choose-your-own-adventure spirit of this soup from JBF Award Winner Gavin Kaysen. We’re sharing his scallion toast–topped version, but the chef notes that sweet seafood, like lobster or crab, is another natural match. You can also garnish the soup with a cluster of sevruga or golden osetra caviar if you’re feeling fancy. Even on its own, the creamy corn base tastes wonderful.
Recipe: Chilled Tomato Soup
This crisp and bright tomato soup from Benoit’s Pierre Schaedelin was a huge hit at Chefs & Champagne—and it will be a huge hit at home once you see how easy it is to make. We recommend using heirloom tomatoes: the soup’s heat-free preparation will preserve the knockout flavor of those bulbous beauties.
Recipe: Chilled Carrot Soup With Clotted Cream, Pistachios, and Mint
Laced with fragrant spices, olive oil, and mint, this puréed carrot soup from chef Matt Jennings is packed with flavor. Jennings finishes the dish with a quenelle of clotted cream, which you can make ahead of time by letting a mixture of cream and buttermilk thicken at room temperature. (If you can't do that step beforehand, just grab an imported jar from Whole Foods or Dean and Deluca.)
Eye Candy: Carolina Gold Rice Soup with Peanuts, Scallions, and Quail
Shaun Doty, who owns the acclaimed Shaun's in Atlanta, served this Carolina Gold rice soup at his Southern-style Beard House feast. (And in case you missed it a few weeks ago, we've got the recipe.)

Recipe: Carolina Gold Rice Soup with Peanuts, Scallions, and Quail
Chef Shaun Doty’s creamy, porridge-like soup is made with heirloom Carolina Gold rice, enriched with fried quail eggs, and topped with sprinkles of crunchy peanuts and scallions. It's a satisfying bowl of Southern heritage that will warm you on the inside.
Recipe: White Bean and Cauliflower Soup with White Truffle Oil
Take a break from your Thanksgiving leftovers with this delectable white bean and cauliflower soup from Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby of Horizons in Philadelphia. For a splash of luxury, the purée is finished with white truffle oil, the best that you can afford. "Buy a quality truffle oil and it will be your friend for life, " insists Landau.
