Creamy white beans, rosemary and soft vegetables make a satisfying soup from pantry staples. Mashing part of the beans thickens the broth naturally. Lemon at the end keeps the flavor fresh.
Soups & Stews
Comforting soups, hearty stews, chili and pozole.
Leeks and potatoes blend into a velvety soup with a mild, sweet onion flavor. A little cream rounds it out without making it heavy. Take care washing the leeks, as grit can hide between their layers.
Brown lentils and everyday vegetables make a hearty soup that holds its shape well. Tomatoes, cumin and a squeeze of lemon build flavor without a long ingredient list. It is especially useful for making ahead.
Small broccoli pieces and shredded carrot give this creamy cheddar soup a pleasant texture. Add the cheese off the heat to keep it smooth. A sharp cheddar provides plenty of flavor without needing an excessive amount.
Canned tomatoes become a smooth, comforting soup with onion, basil and a little cream. A slow simmer softens their sharpness before blending. Pair a bowl with grilled cheese or crusty bread for a simple meal.
Tender chicken, egg noodles and familiar soup vegetables make a comforting pot for lunch or dinner. Using cooked chicken keeps preparation simple. Add the noodles near the end so they stay pleasantly tender.
Hominy and shredded chicken give this green pozole a satisfying texture. A blended tomatillo sauce flavors the broth, and crunchy toppings let everyone finish their own bowl.
This brothy chicken soup gets a lively green chile flavor from roasted peppers and tomatillo salsa. It comes together in one pot and finishes with fresh cilantro.
Roasted green chiles and optional tomatillos surround tender pieces of pork in this simple stew. Let the meat determine the cooking time, then reduce the sauce to the consistency you like.
Pork shoulder simmers with roasted green chiles before canned hominy is added near the end. Fresh radish, onion, and lime give each bowl a different finish.
