Cabbage and Sweet Potato Christmas Soup

Johann Sebastian Bach, “Christmas Oratorio”, Part II: Sinfonia.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) places a sublime Sinfonia at the opening of Part II of his "Christmas Oratorio". Pastoral and gently swaying, it evokes shepherds in quiet winter fields. Its soft rhythms and warm instrumental colours unfold like a first spoonful: comforting, measured, and fragrant. As with a delicate festive soup, nothing overwhelms — each element blends harmoniously, preparing the senses for a Christmas meal filled with calm, warmth, and wonder.

Christmas Day — Festive Overture The table rises, the first notes shimmer! An opening course as an overture to the feast: a naturally gluten-free winter soup of cabbage, sweet potato, and carrot, slowly unfolded with onion, tarragon and chives, delicately spiced with Sichuan and green pepper — just enough to make the melody dance. Crowned with a star of soy cream and a crisp, joyful accent: a croûton made with organic sourdough bread from the boulangerie " Deux amis ". May this first spoonful set the tempo for a Christmas filled with harmony, warmth, and delicious crescendos. Wishing you all a melodic and flavoursome Christmas!
