Our new Roasted Red Pepper with Lobster recipe has been hanging our test kitchen for a while now.  We’ve served an excellent Roasted Red Pepper recipe in the past, but we knew that we could make it better…and that is exactly what we did.  We took an existing recipe that was good, and made it great.  We focused on implementing a creamy consistency paired with the rich flavor of lobster.  We were surprised that a few small changes could make such a big difference.  Don’t miss your chance to take advantage of our new Roasted Red Pepper with Lobster soup serving at all of our locations starting today through May 8th.

Our new White Bean & Chicken Chili isn’t all that new…we’ve just brought it back! This recipe first debuted on our original menu and was just as good back then as it is now. As we ride out the cold winter months we thought this recipe would be perfect to feature. It’s an innovative twist on a classic chili recipe that incorporates green chiles, cumin, white beans and chicken. This hearty meal is topped off perfectly with cheddar cheese and a dallop of sour cream to compliment the heat from the spices perfectly. We’re serving this delicious recipe at all of our locations now through March 27th.

We enjoy the opportunities we have to create recipes that coincide with a holiday.  St. Patrick’s Day is known for wearing green, pinching and our favorite…Irish Stew. We worked on getting the ratio of potatoes, cabbage and vegetables just right to create this hearty recipe.  It was important to us to implement as much authenticity in this classic Irish dish as possible.  After a good amount of research (and taste testing) we came up with a Zupas version that is sure to please.  Celebrate your St. Patrick’s Day with a bowl of our new Irish Stew.

Back by popular demand…This recipe required several different versions until we got it just right…and boy did we. I was not sold on this soup until the last revision…now I can’t wait to have a bowl for lunch tomorrow! We spent weeks altering the amount time we cooked the onions, trying different cheese varieties on the crouton, and getting the broth base perfectly balanced. We put a lot of “love” into this recipe and I think you will be able to tell. In addtion to a delcious bowl of full flavored soup, each serving will be topped with a heaping amount of asiago cheese and 2 croutons that have been toasted with olive oil and asiago as well. Valentines Day is the perfect excuse to have a classic bowl of French Onion soup. Stop by for a bowl at any of our locations this week and let us know what you think!
