Warm Dinner for a Rainy Evening

Looks like rainy days are back, after a short summer. At least today was a cold , gloomy and rainy day in Seattle. On top of that both of us are not feeling too well. So decided to have some soup and bread for dinner. The potato baguette I bought yesterday is still laying..need to finish that before it becomes hard. Then just felt like adding something more. So I made Prosciutto wrapped stuffed chicken.  And Chiranjeeb also felt the same ! So he ended up making his all time favorite 'vegetable pokdas' So the final plate looked like this :
( hmm..the bread and the chicken are looking almost the same :-/)



# Potato baguette
# Potato and leek soup
# Prosciutto wrapped stuffed chicken
# (Pokoras are missing )

The 'rustic potato  bread' (or the baguette) of  Macrina Bakery  is my favorite.  They have a few other interesting breads too. I Also  love their Nutella Brioche.

Potato and leek soup is one foolproof and easy recipe I have learnt from Ina Garten. The flavour comes from roasting the vegetables first.

I think recently Mark Bittman was talking about stuffing chicken with herb butter. I just wrapped them with prosciutto to give an Italian twist (many use bacon instead).
