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.
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.
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 American Goulash
American goulash was one of my all-time favorite comfort food meals when I was growing up. They served it in my school cafeteria alongside a slice of buttered white bread and a carton of milk. This Americanized version of goulash was invented to stretch a small amount of beef into enough food for a not-so-small family. It's a simple dish that doesn't taste simple, so it's perfect for your weeknight dinner rotation.
Stracciatella Soup
Stracciatella soup is often referred to as "Italian egg drop soup," which is fine, but knowing the name actually means little, torn rags or shreds works so much better metaphorically. When you've been run ragged, stracciatella is always there for you. As you eat this, hopefully with some nice crusty bread, imagine all those little "rags" floating in the bowl are all your torn-up problems, both real and imagined. They were there, and then they were gone. You just won — with soup.
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.
Chef John's Salad Lyonnaise
Hailing from Lyon, France, this salad features bitter frisee lettuce (curly endive) and bacon tossed in a shallot and Dijon vinaigrette and topped with a poached egg. Serve with crostini or croutons.
Warm Calamari Salad
I didn't get the char I wanted on the calamari, but I still enjoyed a flavorful, healthy lunch. The good news, however, was that I ate the leftovers cold, tossed with the same salad ingredients, and it was actually better. So, if you are planning on doing the same recipe as shown, I would suggest serving it chilled instead.
Focaccia Panzanella
We are making this ancient and amazing Tuscan salad using a bread from Liguria. I'm guessing neither region would be excited about this idea, but any geo-culinary issues aside, this salad is the ultimate way to use up fresh summer tomatoes and leftover bread.
Black Lemon Chicken Salad
In this simple roasted chicken salad, the warm dressing is built from the dark caramelized lemon and chicken drippings, broth, and lemon juice. For the wilted greens, you can use romaine lettuce, watercress, arugula, or spinach.
Chicken Pastina
Chef John's chicken pastina is like a big, warm hug from an Italian grandma, a comfort food that will, quite literally, change your mood. You can make this simple soup with a fortified broth if you have the time, or simply use off-the-shelf chicken broth for the 15-minute version.
