Cool Sweet Pea & Hot Pepper Soup

The garden is booming with color and so is the soup bowl. :) If you have an excess of peas in the garden, shell 'em, wash 'em, blanch 'em, freeze 'em, then soup 'em. Weather in Portland is a bit unpredictable at the minute . . . hot then cold, rainy & sunny. We're celebrating these mixed seasonal signals with a super simple Cool Sweet Pea & Hot Pepper Soup. Delicious served warm or slightly chill on a hot summer's day.

Making the Channel Bowl

Happy National Small Business Week. We are a very small family business (a husband-wife-toddler-team ) crafting the Channel Bowl in Portland, Oregon. Along the road to production, I sketched the Channel Bowl countless times and many prototypes were made. The contour of the channel was finessed and re-finessed as it relates to the spoon for smooth scooping. The depth & softness of the exterior dimples were sized to fingertips for touch and better grip.

Dimples Add a Nice Touch to Any Table Setting

Every aspect of the Channel Bowl was thoughtfully crafted. We wanted the outside of the bowl to be as delicious as the meal inside. The exterior dimples, sized to fingertips, are finished with a satin glaze, for enhanced grip and tactile elegance. Each bowl is individually pressed and hand-finished with love, locally in Portland, Oregon.

Super Simple Velvety Pumpkin Soup

So far this year it's been a warmer winter in Portland. But who says it has to be snowy to set a cozy table? This velvety pumpkin soup with pan fried sage, toasted pumpkin seeds and a touch of coconut cream was scoopable to the last drop!
