I'm convinced that some traditional dishes are inseparable from utensils that are just as traditional—or even more so—than the recipe itself. When I think of a good paella, I imagine it being cooked and served in an iron paella pan. And the same happens with onion soup—I always associate it with a cocotte. This pairing could easily become a fun food-matching game, but I’ll leave that for another day, because today I want to share this fabulous French onion soup with you.

When the cold weather arrives, nothing better than a comforting cream to go into the cocotte. This time, with our classic mushroom cream recipe, which we prepare in the iron cocotte.

The process is a delight for the senses, from the soft crackling as they cook to the irresistible aroma that gradually unfolds.

This pea and coconut cream recipe is perfect for those days when you don't have much time to prepare lunch or dinner, but you don't want to give up a healthy and delicious dish. A vegan soup full of flavor that, just as it is, is delicious, but that allows endless adaptations to suit everyone's taste.

Pumpkin is one of the star ingredients of autumn, and also the base of a basic and essential cream to warm up in the cold months of the year. Today, this recipe for soft pumpkin cream (or pumpkin soup) is here to stay in the closet of all those who haven't enjoyed it yet. Those of you who are more of a cook will like to know that it is a recipe by the French chef Philippe Laruelle.

Is there anything in the world more comforting than a soup? There might be, but nothing will make you feel better than enjoying a good hot bowl of this dish.

If you love soups and bold flavors, this is the ultimate soup. It's a soup made by roasting ripe sweet tomatoes together with garlic, thyme and olive oil. The purée resulting from that roast is absolutely delicious and intense.

That's why I'm taking out my WMF pressure cooker again to make a creamy soup you'll want to write down to have ready in the fridge for any occasion, and you can't imagine how well asparagus pairs with mushrooms and coconut milk.
