DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a stockpot pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add
the onions, carrots, celery, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring often until
the vegetables have softened and the onions are translucent; 8 to 10
minutes.
Add the garlic, fennel, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the red
pepper flakes. Cook, while stirring, for one minute.
Add the potatoes, cabbage, and bay leaves. Raise the heat to
medium-high and bring the soup to a boil. Partially cover the pot with
a lid, and then reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer.
Simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes, and other vegetables are
tender. Add the frozen peas and cook for five more minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and remove the bay leaves. Stir in the
cider vinegar (or lemon juice). Taste and season with more salt,
pepper or vinegar. Serve.

Instructions
How to Make Croutons:
1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Cut the baguette in half lengthwise through the top
of the baguette then slice diagonally into 1/4" thick pieces. Place the
breads onto a baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 tsp of finely
minced garlic. Drizzle the garlic oil over the croutons and sprinkle the top
with 2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese.
3. Toss until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer over the baking sheet
and bake at 350˚F until light golden and crisp (10-12 minutes), or to
desired crispness.
How to Make Caesar Salad Dressing:
1. Rinse, dry and chop or tear the romaine into bite-sized pieces. Place in a
large serving bowl and sprinkle generously with shredded parmesan
cheese and cooled croutons. Drizzle with caesar dressing and toss gently
until lettuce is evenly coated.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare 1 recipe skillet cornbread. Once cool, cut into 1-inch cubes (15 to 16 cups).
2. Cut 12 ounces sliced bacon crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large frying pan and
use your hands to separate any large clumps of bacon. Cook over medium heat, stirring
occasionally, until browned and crisp, 10 to 14 minutes. Transfer the bacon with a
slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Seed and dice 1 1/2 pounds tomatoes (about 4 cups) and place in a medium bowl.
Thinly slice 6 medium scallions (about 1 cup). Reserve 1/2 cup for garnish and add the
remaining to the bowl of tomatoes. Toss to combine.
4. Grate 8 ounces cheddar cheese on the large holes of a box grater (about 2 cups). Drain
and rinse 2 (about 15-ounce) cans pinto beans. Drain 2 (11-ounce) cans corn kernels
(about 3 1/2 cups).
5. Place 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise, 1 1/2 cups sour cream, and 1 (1-ounce) packet ranch
dressing mix in a medium bowl and stir until combined.
6. Layer in the following order, spreading each layer out in an even layer, in a large glass or
trifle bowl: Half each of the cornbread, beans, tomato mixture, cheese, bacon, corn, and
dressing. Repeat the layers. Top with the reserved scallions. Cover and refrigerate until
chilled, about 3 hours. Serve chilled.
RECIPE NOTES
Make ahead: The cornbread can be made up to 2 days in advance. Wrap it tightly in
plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
