African Chicken in Peanut SauceI first had this in graduate school when a classmate from Ghana cooked it for an International progressive dinner. I fell in love with the combination of sweet peanuts and pungent spices. This is not a flavor you will easily forget, and it will keep you coming back for more! |

Italian Spinach SoupSuprise, surprise. Another amazing recipe adapted from Marcella Hazan's Essential's of Italian Cooking. This is one of my bibles. Not only did I love this spinach soup, but all four of my kids did too! Everyone had mutiple servings. We served it with simple sourdough toast, though Crostini (Italian croutons) is what Marcella… |

Alton Brown Lentil SoupI adapted this recipe from one by Alton Brown. I added spinach, potatoes, and scallions and removed grains of paradise. Our whole family really enjoyed this recipe. I made it alongside an Indian curried lentil soup recipe, and while both were good, this was the hands down winner. If you're looking for a tasty, hearty, and healthy… |

Hearty Red Lentil SoupThis is a wonderfully flavored soup that our whole family really enjoyed. I'm a huge fan of traditional Turkish Red Lentil soup which has more exotic flavors, but I was impressed by the down home goodness of this soup. I had three medium sized helpings, and even then I nibbled a bit more as I was putting the remainder into the… |

Curried Lentil Stew with riceThis curried lentil stew is an awesome winter dish. It will warm you and sooth you with its soft texture and rich flavor. Vegetarians can leave out the bacon and ham. Those who relish Indian flavors can double the tumeric, cumin, ginger, and cloves. |

Awesome Split Pea SoupWe made this soup by combining the best of two recipes...one from America's Test Kitchen and one from Cook's Illustrated's the Best New Recipe. I think this is a split pea soup that can't be beat! |

Tomato SoupI love tomato soup and this one is easy (I don't cook anything that's hard!)! I serve it for the kids as a weeknight dinner with cheese quesadillas. |

Simple Clam ChowderWe brought this last weekend to a cracked crab party. Everyone thought it was wonderful. It's hard to compete with fresh cracked crab, but this easy and delicious clam chowder was the perfect accompaniment. My husband added heavy cream to most of the chowder, but reserved some without the cream. It definitely tastes richer and… |

Easy Chicken PosoleThis is a super easy and tasty recipe you can whip up in 20 minutes! You can use the meat from a standard rotisserie chicken for this soup. I got mine at Costco. I can buy canned tomatillos in the Mexican section of my local grocery store...but if you don't see them stop by any Mexican mercado. They taste great in soup and are a… |

Chicken, Lime & Tortilla SoupThis recipe is light and delicious. I often make it with left over baked chicken. It can also be made with boiled chicken as described below. This is not a heavy handed tortilla soup. It is simple and yummy. Try adding hominy or avocado as well! |

Mexican Chicken StewI adapted this from a popular food network recipe and served it at a ski trip up in Tahoe. Everyone loved it. We served it as leftovers alongside the another meal the next night, and almost everyone had a second bowl and said it tasted as good if not better! This is pretty similar to posole, but perhaps a bit less soupy than most.… |

Carolina Coast Shirmp BogA bog (unlike a pilau) is any stew that includes wet, soggy rice. This recipe was adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks, Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos by James Villas. I've left out the bacon for health reasons. It is delicious as is, but would undoubtedly be even more tasty with the bacon. |

Classic New England Clam ChowdaManhattan is a red soup, New England is a white chowder, and ours is a buttery yellow. This is the simplest, most satisfying chowder I have ever had. NO FLOUR! I really get irritated when I try a "good" restaurant's NE Clam Chowder and 1) can't find the clams, and, 2) can't finish the paste they are passing off as NE Clam… |

Fish Stew with Chipotle AioliThis fish stew is boldly flavored with the staples of great california/italian cooking: garlic, tomatoes, fennel, anchovies, and red wine. We've always been huge Cioppino fans, but this stew is a wonderfully different alternative. The next time you think about making Cioppino, try this instead! (The Chipotle aioli is beautiful and… |
