Chef John's Chicken Tortilla Soup

My chicken tortilla soup is not a fast recipe, but it is one of the greatest chicken soup experiences known to man. The smoky, spicy, slowly simmered tomato chicken broth is made from scratch, and the soup is topped with all your favorite garnishes: toasted tortilla strips, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, lime, and crumbled Mexican cheese.

Green Lentil "Gumbo" Soup

We're making green lentil "gumbo" soup with the same things we put in gumbo, except the signature roux. This delicious soup is gluten-free, dairy-free, and much lower in fat, and the lentils act as the thickener. The best part is that it has all the gumbo flavor you love.

Chef John's Brunswick Stew

My take on a Southern classic stew featuring pork, chicken thighs, and veggies. This comforting dish is hearty and meaty with a rich flavor profile.

Armenian-Style Potato Salad

Potato salad is the first food I remember eating, so I really do have a deep emotional attachment, but every so often, I crave something completely different—and this Armenian-style potato salad is completely different. And completely delicious. Serve drizzled with more olive oil and garnished with more fresh mint.

Apple Jicama Coleslaw

This jicama slaw recipe is crispy, crunchy, and extremely refreshing. It features an underutilized vegetable found in almost every large American grocery store's produce section — I'm talking about jicama.

Deviled Egg Noodle Salad

We are not turning deviled eggs into a noodle salad, here. We are actually making a salad with the same flavors, using egg noodles. Because we use so many ingredients that typically are used for deviled eggs, this salad really does have a similar flavor profile and tastes amazing. Garnish the salad with freshly chopped chives and green onions.

12-Second Coleslaw

When people think of coleslaw, they think of that bowl of soggy, shredded cabbage sitting at the end of the picnic table. This angel hair coleslaw recipe is a completely different approach — fresh, shredded cabbage prepared as a fast (12 seconds adding ingredients, 30 seconds to mix), crisp, low-cal, low-carb, slightly spicy, and delicious dish that you should be eating as part of your regular veggie side rotation. Serve immediately after mixing.

Chef John's Panzanella

The key to this panzanella is frying the bread cubes in loads of olive oil in a skillet, which obviously makes them crispy. But the healthful fat also soaks into the bread cubes and renders them semi-waterproof, or dressing-proof. The same goes for the dusting of Parmesan cheese applied halfway through the crisping process.

Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing

This hot bacon spinach salad with black-eyed peas is a twist on one of my favorite culinary traditions: serving beans and greens on New Year's Day. Greens represent paper money and beans symbolize coins. Here I present these ingredients in salad form, which is a great delivery system for hot bacon dressing.

Corn Salad with Creamy Italian Dressing

This Italian corn salad is simple deliciousness and one of my favorite summer side dishes. It's a perfect complement to just about any meat you pull off the grill, and it can be dressed in countless ways. Serve at room temperature.

German Tater Tot Potato Salad

While this recipe may upset a few Germans, it's a risk I'm willing to take. Tossed with a warm bacon dressing and made easy with crispy, crunchy, frozen potato nuggets, this take on a German potato salad makes an already easy recipe even easier. If you're a fan of Tater Tots, you'll find this salad to be spectacular in taste, texture, and appearance. Plus, there's no peeling, slicing, or boiling necessary!
