When we set out to create our new German Sausage & Potato recipe we envisioned a creamy soup rich with texture & the perfect balance of spice. The simple yet satisfying flavor of the potato is the star ingredient of this recipe complimented by spicy sausage and scattered with petite peas. It’s a rare occasion that we get the recipe just right the first couple of rounds of testing, but it did not take long for us to fall in love with this recipe. Our German Sausage & Potato is everything you want in a winter soup.
Our new Shrimp & Corn Chowder is a recipe to be reckoned with. The creamy consistency combined with all of the fresh vegetables and unique spices make this chowder the perfect answer for lunch or dinner. After finishing the recipe the first time, we went back to perfect it even more. All it took was one secret ingredient that took this recipe from good to great. To seal the deal, top this chowder off with bacon crumbles. Available at all of our stores November 23rd – December 5th.
Our new Brazilian Shrimp and Rice is one of those soups that you won’t get anywhere else. A Zupas orginal, we spent a lot of time perfecting the spices and determining the right balance of fresh vegetables and shrimp. The rich flavor and unique pairings in this soup make it unique and intriguing. To give it the perfect tropical touch, we added coconut milk and rice. We are anticipating that this week we will be making extra batches of this new recipe. It was a hit in the test kitchen and do not doubt that you will feel any different. On a scale from 1-10 this featured recipe is an 11.

I’ve been enjoying a plethera of fresh basil thanks to a local market that is selling it for 99 cents a bunch! My favorite ways to incorporate this divine herb into my cooking repertoire include making pesto from scratch and enjoying plenty of caprese salads. The easiest way to work with fresh basil is by chiffonading the leaves. Once you have accomplished this step, it makes it so easy to incorporate the basil into a basic pasta dish or even use as a garnish on top of grilled chicken or a summer salad.
Never tried chiffonading basil leaves?…no problem, check out this quick instructional video. Enjoy!
Don’t forget that we’re right in the middle of “cherry” season! These red beauties start popping up around May and are usually gone by mid-August. June is the perfect time to enjoy the hottest “superfruit” around. In addition to their delicious flavor, the health benefits are endless. My favorite way to enjoy them is straight from the stem, but if you’re looking to be a bit more classic, try this sour cherry pie for your next summertime picnic.
Our Southwestern Potato & Green Chile has been a favorite in the test kitchen for a while now. We served this recipe in our restaurants a few months ago and it was a hit. After countless requests, it’s back! The creamy consistency and rich flavor is complimented by a hint of heat. It’s a perfect meal when topped off with crunchy tortilla strips. Don’t miss your chance to try this Zupas favorite. Next week we’re bringing back another favorite…Salmon Chowder.
This unique recipe exceeded our expectations in the test kitchen. Our African Chicken & Peanut soup is made up of a rich peanut base, hearty potatoes and is balanced by the perfect amount of heat. You won’t find another creation out there like this. It took several different tests to get the creaminess and consistency just right. A good amount of fresh ginger is added and adds a refreshing touch. The recipe combination comes together beautifully and is a contender for our top 10 list.
Now serving at all of our 5 locations including our new restaurant in American Fork. Bon Apetit!
