Cannellini Bean & Vegetable Soup with Garlic by Farrell May Podgorsek

This is a very satisfying soup. It has a wonderful depth of flavor from the stewed garlic. The beans are cooked in chicken broth for additional flavor. I serve it as a broth soup (think chicken noodle), but if you prefer a thicker soup you can mash some of the beans and add them with the whole beans to the soup. Chard, kale or other…

Gujarati Dal by Mihir Shah

This is comfort food my mom has made for as long as I've been around. She's been able to hook my kids on it; Dal is a healthy way to get protein into their diet. I serve it with some rice and yogurt. It also holds its flavor really well as a leftover snack.
