Eating in with The Red Cat: Spicy Swiss Potato Soup

Posted by Kerry Saretsky, January 23, 2009 at 11:00 AM

Sometimes during the dead of a New York winter, stepping out into the freezing city air to venture to your neighborhood restaurant makes you think you might catch your death before you get there. That is when you need double-hot soup: hot because it's warm, and hot because it's spicy. So, if The Red Cat isn't around your corner (or even if it is), but the cold wind threatens to knock the wind out of you, here is how you make this pot of heat in your kitchen. The creamy potato soup is poured into bowls on top of a layer of melting Gruyère cheese. It produces an upside-down, inside-out French onion soup effect, that, combined with a dusting of hot paprika, acts as though you had happily swallowed a heater. This winter, beat the cold and the recession—make a whole pot for less than the $9 The Red Cat charges for one bowl of soup.
