Marjorie Druker is passionate about soups. She fell in love with soups when she first heard the story Stone Soup. After attending Johnston & Whales, Marjorie created the menu for the popular Boston Market restaurant chain, and soups were always her favorite. “My niche is taking what people like to eat and turning it into a soup,” she says.

The New England Soup Factory restaurant has won the Best of Boston award four times. People skip school to eat their soups. A pregnant in labor stopped by the restaurant on the way to the hospital to satisfy a last-minute craving. New England Soup Factory soups are like no other soups. And now you can recreate these delicious soups in your own home. The New England Soup Factory Cookbook contains 100 of Boston’s best-tasting traditional and creative soup recipes.

Welcome to my room – a place where I hope to share menu & entertaining ideas, recipes and keeping you informed about the latest and greatest happenings at New England Soup Factory.

New England Soup Factory has truly been a labor of love – my personal love of foodand crafting hearty, delicious meals. My husband, Paul Brophy, and I are honored to have the opportunity to share our love of food with you at the New England Soup Factory – and now through our website.

As some of you may have heard, I co-authored my first cookbook titled the New England Soup Factory Cookbook. Clara Silverstein a well known Boston area food writer and of course my friend worked with me on this exciting project. Clara and I have spent a few years working on this book and we are delighted that it has come to fruition. Thomas Nelson out of Nashville Tennessee is publishing the book.  The recipes are easy to follow and you will be amazed at what comes out of your very own kitchen, enjoy!

Grab and Go Specialties; in our refrigerated cases you will find fresh and delicious packaged prepared foods from our kitchen. We try to vary the menu to keep it interesting. You may find fresh pasta sauces, Cheeze-it Macaroni and cheese, holiday specialties and more. Life can feel hectic at times and let these prepared foods make eating delightfully easy.

Our customers have sophisticated palates and we have realized that they love a salad with fresh Vermont goat cheese. We of course love the idea so it has become part of our salad of the season. Depending on the time of year you will find goat cheese salad paired with, pears, apricots, nuts, fresh beets or raspberries. They have become quite popular and they even come with their own specialty vinaigrette.

All year long we make fresh homemade soup that celebrates the time of year. This has never felt like a job to me because I am so passionate about my soup making. Each and every flavor that comes out of our kitchen is made with great ingredients and technique but most importantly love. I love making your soup and I hope to create even more varieties that will soothe you and feed your body well.

With love and appreciation,

Marjorie

About Clara Silverstein

Author Web Link: http://clarasilverstein.com/

Clara Silverstein is the author of four books, a long-time food writer in the Boston area, and directs the summer Chautauqua Writers’ Center.

Clara’s newest cookbook,A White House Garden Cookbook (Red Rock Press), looks at the many ways that First Lady Michelle Obama is inspiring a nation of healthy eaters. Starting with lettuce, tomatoes, and dozens more crops at the White House, the book is filled with ideas to get children and families excited about harvesting and cooking locally grown vegetables. Recipes come from past and present White House kitchens, as well as kid-friendly community gardens nationwide.

Clara’s first cookbook, The Boston Chef’s Table (Globe Pequot Press), presents more than 100 contemporary recipes from the city’s top chefs, including Jody Adams, Todd English, Barbara Lynch, and Ming Tsai – plus a few traditional favorites. Customized for home cooks, the recipes are printed with a profile about each chef, cooking hints, and Boston food lore.

Clara is also co-author of The New England Soup Factory Cookbook (Thomas Nelson), a collection of recipes from chef and company founder Marjorie Druker. A top seller in the soup and stew category on amazon.com, the book offers 100 traditional and creative soup recipes, as well as sandwiches and salads from Marjorie’s award-winning restaurant.

A journalist for more than 20 years, Clara has published articles in Health magazine, Prevention, Runner’s World, American Heritage, and the Boston Globe. Formerly a food writer at the Boston Herald daily newspaper, Clara for 13 years informed readers about the city’s chefs, restaurants, and food trends. She also contributed several entries to the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America. Her poems and essays have been published in many literary journals.

Clara’s memoir White Girl: A Story of School Desegregation (University of Georgia Press) chronicles her experiences as a white child bused to predominantly African-American schools in the 1970s under a court desegregation order in Richmond, Virginia. Now she participates in anti-racism groups in the Boston area.

During the summer, Clara directs the Chautauqua Writers’ Center, a series of poetry and prose writing workshops at the Chautauqua Institution in western New York. She teaches non-fiction writing workshops at Grub Street, Inc. in Boston.

When not writing, Clara runs with far more enthusiasm than speed. She finished the 2008 Boston Marathon with a team that raised money for Bottom Line, a charity that helps disadvantaged Boston students go to college. She has also finished two other marathons, five triathlons, and several half-marathons. Clara and her husband live near Boston and are the parents of two teenagers. (http://clarasilverstein.com/)
