A year-round go-to, Brennan’s of Houston’s deep-roux, fully loaded gumbo tastes especially delicious when the temps are below freezing.

Housemade curry powder and rich coconut-cream make the laksa broth at James Beard-nominated chef Alex Au-Yeung’s Phat Eatery especially satisfying. Add sambal as needed to heat up this delicious curry of rice, egg noodles, bean sprouts, tofu, shrimp and chicken.
Lentil Soup

Owned by the family that operates Hungry’s, Heartbeet touts ample vegan options — but true to its name, the menu is hearty indeed. The recipe for the lentil soup comes from the mom of chef Sue Nowamooz and has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 50 years.

Available at all Local Table locations for just $6, the loaded baked potato soup comes with bacon, cheese and chives. (Wash it down with a cinnamon-apple-infused-bourbon Hot Toddy!)
Tom Yum Soup
In the Heights, Kin Dee serves a steaming bowl of classic Tom Yum soup, with Asian shrimp tails, kaffir, galangal, fish sauce, chili, lime, bean sprouts, broccoli, cilantro and aromatic lemongrass.

More than 400 festively clad guests were greeted by a jazz trio consisting of doctors Dean Moore, Mark Dannenbaum and Jose Miguel-Yamal as they perused the art exhibit in the lobby. In the grand ballroom, outfitted by Blooming Gallery, the raffle and silent and live auctions awaited; jewelry and art created by talented doctors and pediatric patients brought in the big bucks!
Live music courtesy of the party band Password had galagoers — including the night's honorees, 15 Houston-area physicians who are also arbiters of creativity as a means of healing — dancing the night away.
Studies are increasingly proving that art is beneficial in medical and clinical settings — not only to patients, who experience greater healing, but also to the physicians and nurses, who report higher workplace satisfaction. The proceeds from the Arts of Healing gala will go toward facilitating art-making and creative opportunities outside of a hospital setting, and some will also go to local nonprofit The Sunshine Kids, which supports children undergoing cancer treatment and their families.
