Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili
The extra step of roasting the sweet potatoes really concentrates the sweet, earthy flavors and gives the starchy chunks a marvelously meaty texture.
Tuscan Fish Stew
I spent a few days in Florence about 30 years ago, and while I don't remember much, I do recall my surprise at how delicious the Tuscan fish stew was. What I found so interesting was how herbs like oregano, sage, and rosemary, which I'd only associated with meat, were also used with seafood. Also, FYI just in case any old-school Tuscans are coming over: I hear that for this to qualify as an official Italian fish stew you need use at least 5 different types of seafood, which is both insane and adorable. Serve with crusty bread.
Roman-Style Tripe
If beef tripe is prepared following this method, it has a pleasantly mild but distinct flavor. When it comes to great sauces for dipping crusty Italian bread, it doesn't get any better than this.
Chef John's Manhattan Clam Chowder
Manhattan clam chowder is usually very watery, too tomato-y, and not nearly clammy enough so I reworked the recipe into something significantly more rich, satisfying, and delicious. My secrets? A ton of clams, not too much tomato, and a little bit of flour to thicken things up. Serve with oyster crackers and garnish with fresh chives, parsley, tarragon, or even dill, if desired.
Chef John's Mulligatawny Soup
I'm showing you my take on what is considered one of the world's greatest soups. Which was invented, I hear, because British soldiers in India weren't able to start a meal without soup. This is incredibly hearty, savory, and comforting, and something that should be on every soup lover's bucket list. Serve with naan.
Moroccan Harira Soup
Harira is Morocco's most popular soup. It is without a doubt one of the best soups you'll ever enjoy, and I am very happy to show you my take on this dish. Once you taste it you'll understand why the combination of pasta, lentils, and chickpeas is so hearty, so flavorful, and so satisfying. If you prefer a vegetarian harira soup, you can leave out the lamb.
Got No Beef Stew
Got no beef? That's ok, because I am going to show you how to make something that looks like beef stew, eats like beef stew, and kinda sorta tastes like beef stew without having to use any beef. And whether you're making this because beef is just too expensive, or you are trying to cut down on the amount of beef you eat, or you just enjoy bad grammar — no matter the reason, I really do think you're going to enjoy this! Serve with buttered bread.
Tomato Bisque
This tomato bisque is proof you don't need a whole basket of vine-ripened tomatoes to make delicious tomato bisque. This recipe uses canned tomatoes. Rice makes this soup silky, not starchy.
Pasta Fazool (Pasta e Fagioli)
Pasta fazool is a classic Italian-American comfort food. This recipe works with any sausage, but I like the fennel and anise flavors of sweet Italian sausage with the beans. A hearty soup that's fast and easy to put together. This recipe makes enough for two large portions or four smaller ones.
Chef John's Shrimp Étouffée
Étouffée is a delicious shellfish stew that's a New Orleans classic. I use a homemade spice blend in this recipe and demonstrate that it is possible to get good results using frozen shrimp, which is sometimes the only option.
Chef John's Gazpacho
This gazpacho has the perfect balance of flavors. Try making it with some end-of-summer, super-sweet tomatoes — there just isn't any substitute. I hope you find some so you give this a try.
Chef John's Italian Sausage Chili
This sausage chili recipe turned out with great results. I had added pork to ground beef chili before but never tried it with only Italian sausage. I added even more Italian flavors with cannellini beans and a hint of oregano. Garnish with sour cream, avocado, red onion, and basil.
