Chicken Lentil Soup — Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn For me, especially when I'm focusing on my health or losing weight, there is nothing more comforting than having many containers of this nourishing, delicious, filling lentil soup with chicken stashed away in the freezer. Lentil soup is actually the very first dish I learned to cook, and I am still amazed at how easy it is to make something so much better than you get from a can. I'm also sentimental about this soup, so it will probably always be among my favorite things to make. I do prefer using bacon fat here—I spend extra on premium bacon so I always strain and save the rendered fat for making this soup. The smoky flavor it brings to the soup is a great complement to the earthy lentils, but butter and olive oil also work well. For a vegetarian version, just leave out the chicken and bacon fat (use olive oil instead). Chicken Lentil Soup Serves 8 to 10 Melt the bacon fat or butter in the bottom of a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic.

Grilled Cheese with Pesto Grilled cheese with pesto. Do it, and you won’t regret it. Even my 84-year-old grandma who literally wrote a cookbook about delicious appetizers thinks this combo is the bee’s knees. I always use Tillamook Extra Sharp cheddar cheese and my mom’s homemade bread (which she sells at the Corvallis Farmers’ Market on Saturdays). While the food-processor method for making pesto does the trick, I’ve been having fun chopping everything with just a big knife, kinda like in this video by Tiger in a Jar (though not quite so pretty).

Mexican (Very) Vegetable and Bean Soup with Jalapeño-Herb Topping This easy, slightly spicy (although the heat is really up to you) soup can be made with whatever is seasonal. The main thing to keep it vaguely on a Mexican wave(length) is actually the herbs, lime and pickled jalapenos – all easily obtained year round. Do adjust to your own palate, although I have deliberately kept it on the family-friendly end of the spectrum. “For once”, you might legitimately add. ;-) Enjoy xx 1 red onion, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or smashed 4 medium carrots, finely chopped 1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground to a powder 1.7 litres (60 fl oz) light vegetable stock 6 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped OR tin/jar of best-quality whole tomatoes (crush them as you add to the pan) 100g (3.53 oz) greens of choice, chopped rather small – kale, chard, broccoli leaves, spring greens, cabbage, beet leaves 1 courgette/zucchini, cut into small pieces A good handful of sugarsnap peas, mangetout/snowpeas, or shelled peas Zest and juice of one lime 1. 2. 3.
