Summer Vegetable Soup with Hominy & Lime

The majority of the flavor and texture in this soup comes from a can in your pantry.

Chicken Noodle Soup with Cabbage, Dill and Lots of Lemon

Among all the ways that soup can be exciting, sometimes all you want is for soup to be whatever the opposite of that is. Comforting. Calming. Soothing. Basic. Expected.

Chicken Broth, The Long Way

This is my basic and very general recipe for chicken broth. It is also extraordinary, in the way that only chicken broth, made with love, care, salt, and plenty of bone-in, skin-on chicken can be.

Spiced Zucchini Soup

The bulk of this soup here is zucchini

Golden Turkey Stock

Putting the stock on is the start of something, the beginning of a ritual. It’s a bit of extra work, but the sort of enjoyable, passive work that makes your house smell wonderful and all your food taste better.

Gorgeous Chili

Chili means many different things depending on where you are. Heavy on the tomato, well spiced but will not light-your-mouth on fire, uses hunks of meat (chuck, sirloin, brisket, etc.) to slow braise and beans cooked from dried.

Squash Soup with Lentils and Herbs

More squash than lentil, this soup has a lovely little sweetness and just enough cumin to remind me of eating soup from a co-op– a very specific, niche yet evocative reference.

Pork and Red Chili Pozole with Cabbage

While this may not be a true pozole—it’s thicker and more stew-like, I’ve added tomatillos for body and acidity, and there’s cabbage braised alongside the pork.

Mushroom Soup with Tofu and Toasted Garlic

Whether you have a cold, your apartment heat isn’t working, or you just need something light and brothy between holiday meals, this soup has you covered. It’s warming, nourishing, and exactly what the doctor ordered.

Matzo Ball Soup

If you’re celebrating Passover (or just want a delicious soup) you can’t beat the classic. This soup has all the best things: light, fluffy matzo balls, an intense amount of celery, and #lotsofdill

Dilly Bean Stew with Cabbage and Frizzled Onions

The low number of deceptively modest ingredients might convince you this stew doesn’t have what it takes to be your new favorite stew– but I assure you, it does.
