Miso soup is divine in its simplicity, as it requires just a few ingredients — most of which you can find at your local grocery store. The base ingredients for making miso soup’s base (dashi) keep well in the pantry, while the miso itself has a long refrigerator shelf life. Once you stock your kitchen with three essentials, you’ll only need to pick up a few accompaniments when the craving for miso soup strikes.

Open Baking Lesson

Light in texture, with a coating of butter, salt, and garlic, these are the soft breadsticks you remember from the first time you went to an Olive Garden (or perhaps even the last time you went). These famous breadsticks have a white, fluffy center and a tender, delicate crust. Soft and kid-friendly, these are sure to be gobbled up as soon as they get their slathering of butter and herb goodness when they come out of the oven. Here’s what makes them so delicious and how to achieve it at home.

How To Make Chicken Stock in the Slow Cooker

(Image credit: Emma Christensen)

As we head into soup season (otherwise known as fall and winter), I believe we are divided into two camps of home cooks: those who keep a bag of bones in the freezer and those who don’t (yet!). Which camp do you fall in? Are you the kind of cook who keeps a bag of bones in the freezer for soup-making?

Your Guide to Picking the Best Noodles for Any Type of Soup

(Image credit: Kelli Foster)

We have some very specific thoughts on the best way to cook pasta, and we’ve even recommended cooking grains like pasta. The same approach doesn’t apply to ramen, however. Despite their likeness to one another, ramen noodles and pasta fall in two different camps when it comes to preparation.

You definitely don’t need a head cold or respiratory infection to enjoy this soup, but if you do have the sniffles (or feel them coming on), turmeric soup is a delicious alternative to chicken soup.

This soup is loaded with ingredients that can potentially ease the symptoms of the common cold, or give your immune system a little boost during cold and flu season. Failing that, this soup is just plain delicious. So you really can’t go wrong.

Turmeric, ginger, garlic, lemon and bone broth together make a soothing but lively soup broth. All have various healing powers. Turmeric, especially, boasts an array of potential pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory powers, cancer prevention and more. Plus, it just might relieve your cough and clear up excess mucus.

This turmeric soup also has kale for vitamin C and ground lamb for protein, essential amino acids, as well as vitamins and minerals. This is a soup bowl filled with everything you need.

Time in the Kitchen: 35 minutes

Servings: 4 to 6

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (30 ml)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger (15 ml)
• 6 cloves garlic finely chopped
• 3/4 teaspoon powdered (ground) turmeric (3.7 ml)
• 2-inch/5 cm piece fresh turmeric, peeled and grated (use a microplane zester/grater)
• 3/4 pound ground lamb (340 g)
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander (2.5 ml)
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (a pinch)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (5 ml)
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper (a pinch) (1.2 ml)
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (60 ml)
• 6 cups chicken or beef bone broth (1.4 L)
• 4 kale leaves, ribs/stems removed, leaves cut into thin ribbons
• Lemon slices, for garnish
• Optional: ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 sliced hot pepper

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, saute onion in coconut oil over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the ginger and garlic. Sauté 1 to 2 minutes.

Add both types of turmeric. Cook 1 minute more.

Add ground meat, and season with coriander, cinnamon, salt, pepper and fresh cilantro. Break the meat up as it cooks. When it’s browned and mostly cooked through, add bone broth.

Bring to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes.

Add kale right before serving. Add lemon slices, and cayenne/hot peppers as well, if desired.

With a spiced curry sauce that we sop up with abandon, chana masala, one of the most popular vegetarian curry dishes you’ll find at Indian restaurants, is full of tender chickpeas. It’s become a comfort-food classic for many home cooks and still manages to feel wholesome. Best of all, it’s a dish easily made at home — as long as you keep a few key ingredients in your pantry.

Then I investigate whether diet soda indeed makes losing weight easier, by looking at how it influences hunger and eating behavior.
