With Tom Brady and the Patriots on the tube, a cozy winter’s fire and a newly renovated kitchen for inspiration, I tackle a one-pot meal — the “souper star” for entertaining efficiency. But which choice of vessel to further set the mood? Classic white is always a nice contrast with any food color, but broths in hues of tomato red and curry orange look richer in indigo-coated clay or a sexy Nippon black. Vegetarian alternatives shine in porcelain, too. Here are a few to choose from.
