Waterzooi of Chicken

From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everyone Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” Don’t be turned off by the unusual name; it’s Dutch in origin (pronounced VAH-ter-zoy); it’s basically a hearty chicken and vegetable soup/stew thing, with a deliciously rich and creamy broth. (I tell the kids that it’s Belgian Chicken Soup, and they love it.) It’s not hard to make at all, and great for entertaining since it can be prepared almost entirely ahead of time.

Belgian Tomato Meatball Soup (Tomatensoep Met Ballekes)

Traditional Meatball Soup – a classic Belgian dish. Use your favourite meatball recipe for this or purchase pre-made tiny meatballs! You can let the raw meatballs poach in the soup or bake them in some butter first and then add them to the soup afterwards. Serve this velvety tomato and meatball soup with a thick slice of bread. Another wonderful June D’Arville recipe. Enjoy!

Cream of Belgian Endive Soup

A lovely soup, quite nice when made with skim milk, very rich when made with whole milk, a splurge when made with cream.
