Pork Stew with Wine

Pork Stew with Wine by John Spottiswood

This is another phenomenal recipe that I adapted from a recipe from James Villas in Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos. I still have not found a recipe from this book that is not amazing. Anyway, don't be thrown off by the fruit in this recipe. It blends in with the wine, meat and vegetables to make a luscious combination. This recipe…

Mediterranean Beef Minestrone Soup

Mediterranean Beef Minestrone Soup by Salad Foodie

This feeds a crowd and then some. Hearty and healthy. Start this slow simmering soup early afternoon to have it ready for dinner, so there's time to develop the flavors. Or better yet, cook a day in advance and let the flavors sing next day. I take time to cut the meat and veggies in small pieces as this is a soup, not a stew, and the…

Chicken Potpie Soup

Chicken Potpie Soup by Salad Foodie

Chicken potpie is one of the all-time favorite comfort foods, but not too many of us labor making the pie crust version with the yummy creamy filling. Enter Chicken Potpie Soup! I used Sara Moulton's Everyday Family Dinners' recipe as a starting point, where garlic buttered croutons made from lavash thin bread (not crackers) or flour…

Moroccan Split Pea Soup

Moroccan Split Pea Soup by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and beautiful recipe I adapted from one in Paula Wolfert's beautiful book "the food of morocco". The split pea soup has wonderful Moroccan flavors, and it gets a beautiful touch when you drizzle homemade pepper oil on top. This is a super easy trick which adds a nice kick to the already flavorful soup. It's…

Chicken and Cannellini Bean Soup

Chicken and Cannellini Bean Soup by Salad Foodie

We've been trying out several soups, chilies and stew variations, and this one grabbed the spotlight. The chicken and beans give this soup the comfort food satisfaction we crave in cooler fall weather. If you reduced the broth this would become white chili, but we opt instead for it as a soup. Note that the beans are undrained on…

Crock Pot Chicken Stew

Crock Pot Chicken Stew by Salad Foodie

The perfect Sunday evening supper, this basic stew is pure comfort fare! What I enjoy particularly are the ease of preparation, large chunks of chicken, and the light yummy gravy. Based on a recipe from Taste of Home Magazine, this recipe uses boneless skinless chicken thighs. I have used a meaty turkey thigh in place of chicken:…

Lentil, Black Bean & Brown Rice Soup

Lentil, Black Bean & Brown Rice Soup by Salad Foodie

Hearty and healthy, this soup will satisfy your fall comfort food needs. I was inspired by a demo of lentil and brown rice soup by Chef Michael on Chef At Home, but he uses no recipes, just methods. When I took my turn in the kitchen to replicate it I went off on so many tangents, that this version bears little resemblance to his!…

Weeknight Minestrone by Salad Foodie

This is a speedy version of the classic Italian minestrone. The food processor does the chopping and bottled marinara saves additional time, without compromising flavorful results. Based on Laura Vitale’s recipe in her cookbook Laura In The Kitchen (2015).

Chicken Chili

Chicken Chili by Salad Foodie

Classic comfort foods can be made healthier without giving up on good taste. Case in point - this Chicken Chili recipe. Fat is reduced in the sautéing of vegetables and by substituting chicken for beef. But there are plenty of flavors going on here so you won't ask "Where's the beef?" Based on a recipe from Patti LaBelle's Light…
