Sunday Soup Season Dutch Oven Dinner Night: Cookware, Candles & Cozy Throws
23
items Soup season starts the first night the oven feels welcome again, and a good Dutch oven carries the whole dinner. These Le Creuset pots, Capri Blue and Homesick candles and Parachute Home throws set up a slow Sunday from simmer to sofa.
A deep oven suits soup, stew and braises where the liquid needs room, so it is the one I'd choose for a big Sunday batch. It also goes straight from stovetop to table.
Le Creuset Signature Round Deep Oven
Light this on the counter while the pot simmers; I like the harvest mood it adds to a kitchen. It pairs well with a loaf of bread cooling nearby.
Homesick Autumn Hayride Candle
Keep it folded on the sofa arm for after dinner. I like the stretchy rib texture for a lap throw, and $99 is a gentler price for Parachute Home than the alpaca ones.
Parachute Organic Rib Knit Throw
The oval shape fits longer cuts like a roast or a whole chicken, so skip it if you only ever make soup and want something simpler. I like it for bigger dinner nights.
Le Creuset Traditional Oval Dutch Oven
This is the splurge piece of the set, a round Dutch oven with a more modern look. I love when cookware can sit on the stove as decor between meals.
Le Creuset Modern Heritage Round Dutch Oven
The doufeu is built for long, gentle braises, so it suits a slow Sunday. I'll admit it is more of a specialist piece than a standard Dutch oven.
Le Creuset Traditional Oval Doufeu
A wide round oven gives more surface for browning onions and meat before the soup goes in. I like it for a bigger meal, and it sits lower than the deep version.
Le Creuset Signature Round Wide Oven
Volcano Blue is a classic Capri Blue jar that looks great on a dining table with the pot in the middle. I like the crisp color against stoneware.
Capri Blue Volcano Blue Signature Candle
A sofa-side pick: Cozy Sweater matches the mood after dinner when the dishes are in the sink. I'd light it with the throw close by.
Homesick Cozy Sweater Candle
This toasty candle belongs in the living room, not the kitchen, so the two spaces stay separate from the cooking. I like it for the second half of the evening.
Homesick Burnt Marshmallow Candle
I like setting this glam jar in the middle of the table on soup night. Its dressy, sparkly look lifts a simple pot of soup and a crusty loaf of bread without any extra effort from me.
Capri Blue Apple Cider Social Glam Signature Candle
A small gilded tin for a shelf or bathroom. I like it as an easy way to add a moody candle without spending much, at $27.
Capri Blue Smoked Clove & Tabac Gilded Tin Candle
Apple Oud suits a cooler evening with a darker, richer mood. I'll set it on a console near the door so you walk right into it.
Capri Blue Apple Oud Tuscan Radiance Signature Candle
Gelato cup candles are small and cute, and I like them on a desk or kitchen windowsill when a full jar would be too much.
Capri Blue Havana Vanilla Caffè Capri Gelato Cup Candle
If apples and cider are on the menu, Orchard Picnic fits the table. I like it beside a basket of fruit and a wooden board.
Homesick Orchard Picnic Candle
I light Local Honey in the living room while the soup simmers because its mellow, sweet scent never feels heavy. It is a good fit for anyone who prefers soft notes over strong spice, and it pairs nicely with a light linen throw.
Homesick Local Honey Candle
Vanilla is a safe pick for dinner guests who like candles on the quieter side. I think this Havana Vanilla jar is a good fit for a dining table.
Capri Blue Havana Vanilla Caffè Capri Signature Candle
I keep a gauze throw within reach for dinner by the fireplace because it is lighter than wool. It works well for anyone who runs warm but still wants something soft over their lap while lingering over a second bowl.
Parachute Organic Channel Gauze Throw
The plaid wool alpaca throw is the investment piece. Skip it unless you want a heavy statement throw, though I think it suits a drafty living room well.
Parachute Plaid Wool Alpaca Throw
Toast and marigold colors make this a cheerful fall throw that suits a leather sofa. I like pairing it with a neutral candle.
Parachute Lodge Throw
Linen softens with washing, so this blanket works as a layer on the bed or draped over the sofa. I like the warm grey with wood and stone.
Parachute Vintage Linen Bed Blanket
Basketweave has a textured look that suits a farmhouse sofa. I like it as a casual throw for a movie night after dinner.
Parachute Basketweave Throw
Soft spun cotton is an easy-care option for a blanket that gets used a lot. I like it for a reading chair near the kitchen.
