Every other Saturday during my childhood, we would have this soup or a variation of it – sometimes with angel-hair noodles or egg stirred through it. I’ve always called it my Nonna’s soup, as it reminds me of her every time I eat it. It’s a regular wintertime soup on my menu. I usually double the recipe (adding extra salt to taste) and eat it over a couple of days for lunch and dinner. It’s really one of my favourites! I love the clear fennel-scented cleansing broth with droplets of olive oil coating on top and the fragrant taste of...
Mulligatawny is Kramer's favourite soup in the infamous Seinfeld 'Soup Nazi' episode. "No soup for you!" This classic golden coloured Anglo-Indian soup, which translates literally as 'pepper water' in Tamil, is an accurate description, because it's a wonderfully spicy soup with a big personality. Perfectly balanced and intoxicatingly fragrant, this luscious curry-flavoured dish combines an aromatic blend of Indian spices, garlic and chicken simmered to perfection in a fragrant broth of diced leeks, carrots, celery, apple and potato thickened with rice, yoghurt and heavy cream. Hearty, delicious and absolutely divine, Kramer isn't the only one who adores this soup. It's pretty hard to resist. Mulligatawny Soup Serves 12 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/8 tsp ground cloves 4 tsp curry powder 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp garam masala 1/4 cup unsalted butter pinch of cayenne pepper 4 lb chicken, whole or breasts & thighs only, cut into serving pieces 4 celery stalks, thinly sliced 2 large onions, chopped 3 carrots, diced 2 leeks, thinly sliced - white part only 11 cups chicken stock salt and pepper to taste 2/3 cup rice, uncooked 2 tart apples, peeled, cored and diced 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 cup plain yoghurt 2/3 cup heavy cream chopped cilantro, for garnish Naan bread, optional Combine the garlic and the spices (cumin, cloves, curry powder, ginger, cayenne pepper and garam masala) then set aside. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until lightly brown on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a large pot, cover and set aside. Drain all but 1 tbsp of fat from the skillet and add the celery, onions, carrots, leeks, and the garlic-spice mixture and blend well. Add 1/2 cup of the chicken stock and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes. Then add to the chicken. Stir in the remaining chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring just to a boil, then cover, lower the heat and simmer 30 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the rice to the soup and continue cooking 15 minutes. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, tear the meat into bite size pieces, discarding the bones and skin. Return the chicken to the soup and blend in the apples and yoghurt. Simmer another 10 minutes. Degrease soup if necessary. Stir in lemon juice, and then the cream. Ladle into warmed soup bowls or a heated tureen, and serve garnished with some chopped cilantro and a basket of warm naan or crusty bread on the side.

This is how to make a Traditional Borscht Recipe. My mom's Ukrainian borscht can be made vegetarian or with beef and I share all the tips and variations to this beet soup!

Sometimes my mom will add kidney beans or cabbage, but I like it simple and it's still as delicious!
There was a British singing outfit in the Seventies called Instant Sunshine and this is it in soup form. The silkiness comes from the peppers which are quickly blitzed in a hot oven, then blended with the sweetcorn which is cooked in stock. There's nothing more to it, and it is health-giving and mood-boosting — providing sunshine on a rainy day. I like this smooth and velvety with nuggets of the sweetcorn running through it, though you can make it as liquidized or as rough as you please. As for the peppers: it wouldn't matter if you used 2 yellow or 2 orange. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

Recipe video above. This is a fabulous "throw it all in the slow cooker" soup. There's no need to cook the onion separately - it "sautés" itself in the fat from the ham that rises to the surface. Thick, hearty soup broth infused with incredible flavour from the ham! Use leftover ham bone, or purchase a ham hock.

I employ a favorite time-saving grocery store trick in this recipe, to help get this beautiful, flavorful soup on the table faster. Most grocery stores offer pre-made popcorn chicken or chicken tenders that are of good quality, and by tossing them with a simple honey/soy mixture, we can infuse them with flavor and crisp them up in the oven, before topping our bowls of steaming Khao Soi Gai (Thai Coconut Curry Noodle Soup with Chicken). This is optional, and you can follow my NOTE below for a fresh-cooked chicken breast option or leave the meat out entirely.
