Page 20 - The Chronicle, Saturday, February 2, 1980 something's cooking Make a Meal with Soup During the cold days there is nothing more appealing than a steaming bowl of soup to take away the winter chill. Too often soup has been limited to the appetizer or side-dish category. With a little ingenuity in prepara tion, versatile soup can be light or sturdy, formal or informal, or an appetizer, a main dish, or even a dessert. Everyone probably keeps a handy supply of conveni ence soups on hand for emergencies and occasions when time is extremely limited. These soups may appear heated and served with a sandwich lunch. Combine ■ flavors of convenience soups, add leftover chopped chicken or turkey, ham or cheese to soups with compatible flavors. For a quick soup which is a meal try Swiss Ham 'n Potato. Heat one can (lOH oz.) condensed cream of potato soup with I Vi cups milk, 1 'A cups diced cooked ham. Stir occasionally. Add 'A cup (2 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg or pepper just before serving. Serve with unsalted crackers. Add a favorite beverage and fruit for dessert. Jean Wickstrom, current food editor of Southern Living Magazine, has compiled an attractive book called Soups & Stews. The collection presents both novel ideas and long time favorite recipes. Several recipes from her book have been selected to share. They are evidence that she is familiar with traditional Southern foods easily available in North Carolina. Also, she recognizes the need for small and larger quantity recipes. Potato Soup for Two is budget-oriented for the small family. Hearty Vegetable Soup should please every number of the family, including the men. Surely, true Southerners will enjoy black-eyed peas in a new recipe.

Use N.CWines in Recipes Cooks throughout history have discovered that wine is the element to arouse flavor magic when it is added to the dish. Used as a seasoning in cooking, wine serves to blend and point up all food flavors. If a stronger wine flavor is desired, some seasonings may be dut down, and the amount of wine increased according to individual taste. No alcohol will remain in the dish, because the heat of cooking quickly evapo rates it. Wine also acts as a tenderizer, helping to soft en tougher cuts of meat as well as flavor them. These recipes will be ;ruly an adventure for the person preparing the dish.
