EGGPLANT RAVIOLINI SOUP
Nice comfort food from Everyday with Rachel Ray. I love eggplant and it provides a meaty taste without the meat. Of course it can be made in under 30 minutes. The Raviolini are tiny pillows of ravioli and I buy mine at my local Trader Joe's. Zaar didn't accept the raviolini as an ingredient so I had to list the ingredient as plain ravioli (but you should use the tiny ones).

SMOKY EGGPLANT SOUP
I am a fan of eggplant soup, and this one is a winner, creamy-textured and bright tasting. Charring the eggplant gives it a smoky flavor, but as opposed to some rustic versions, the soup has a smooth texture and a lovely pale color. It gets a good squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of the Middle Eastern spice mixture za'atar, made with wild thyme and sesame, now widely available. Make sure to choose small, firm eggplants. Serve the soup chilled or hot, in small portions.

Steps:
- Poke 2 or 3 holes in eggplants with a paring knife, then place on a baking sheet under hot broiler, about 2 inches from flame. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, allowing skins to blacken and char. Turn and cook on other side until eggplants have softened completely, about 4 minutes more. Set aside to cool, then remove and discard skins and roughly chop eggplant flesh.
- Meanwhile, put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed stainless or enameled soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook until softened and beginning to color, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic, cayenne and reserved eggplant and cook 1 minute more, then add broth and bring to a brisk simmer. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Check seasoning of broth and adjust salt.
- Purée soup in batches in blender. Strain through fine-meshed sieve and discard solid debris and seeds. Add 3 tablespoons lemon juice to puréed soup and taste again, adding more as necessary. Soup should be well seasoned and rather lemony.
- Mix lemon zest with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil for garnish. Ladle soup into small bowls, topping each bowl with 1 teaspoon lemon oil, 1/2 teaspoon za'atar and some chopped parsley. May be served hot or cold.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Steps:
- For soup:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Place eggplant cut side down on oiled rimmed baking sheet. Bake until very tender, about 1 hour. Cool.
- Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion, fennel, potato, leek, garlic and oregano; sauté 10 minutes. Add wine; cook 2 minutes. Add 7 1/2 cups stock; simmer until vegetables are tender, 15 minutes. Scoop out eggplant flesh; discard skins. Add eggplant to soup. Simmer 10 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in blender. Return soup to pot. Mix in cream. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead; cool slightly. Cover; chill.)
- For dumplings:
- Heat oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté 4 minutes. Cool. Mix in cheese, tomatoes and basil. Season filling with salt and pepper. Place wrappers on work surface. Place 2 teaspoons filling in center. Brush edges with water. Fold wrappers diagonally in half; press edges to seal. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Place in single layer on floured baking sheet. Cover; chill.)
- Bring soup to simmer, thinning with more stock if necessary. Cook dumplings in pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 1 minute. Ladle soup into bowls. Using slotted spoon, place 2 dumplings atop soup in each bowl.
Tips:
- Selecting the Right Eggplants: Choose firm, unblemished eggplants with smooth, dark purple skin. Avoid eggplants that are overly ripe or have bruises or blemishes.
- Preparing the Eggplants: Cut the eggplants lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the eggplant slices in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Making the Ravioli Filling: Combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until well combined.
- Assembling the Raviolini: Place a heaping teaspoon of the ricotta filling in the center of each roasted eggplant slice. Fold the eggplant slices over the filling to form ravioli. Secure the edges with toothpicks.
- Cooking the Raviolini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove the ravioli with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl.
- Preparing the Soup: In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, and carrots and cook until softened. Add crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, garlic, dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
- Combining the Raviolini and Soup: Add the cooked ravioli to the soup and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the ravioli are heated through.
- Serving the Soup: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil.
