Today s Headlines: Not Just Another Number - Los Angeles Times

Print More than half a million people in the U.S. have died of COVID-19. Hope is in sight, but devastation remains. TOP STORIES COVID-19 deaths in the United States have officially surpassed 500,000 a toll that is hard to fathom.

Chef s Table: Soup it up for a winter warmer with this recipe

Soups can fit the bill in so many ways, and there is nothing more comforting on a winter’s day than the aroma of home-made soup to welcome you home. Simple rustic broths are great for emptying the fridge and using up leftovers or carcasses from a roast chicken. However, a blended more sophisticated veloute soup is always a winner for depth of flavour and smooth consistency. You can go on forever with different flavour combinations, from curried parsnip, artichoke and smoked bacon, smoked haddock with potato and leek (Cullen skink) to carrot orange and coriander, but my favourite recipe this winter is onion, cider and thyme soup – and make it even more special by serving it with cheese and apple toasts.
