Good morning! Today we have for you:
A 7-ingredient soup for late-summer sniffles
I’ll be quick with this, because it’s that part of late summer where, if you didn’t get sick on vacation (always), you’re feeling the sniffles now: Yossy Arefi’s ginger chicken and rice soup with zucchini is the soup you need, perfectly warming and satisfyingly seasonal. Garlic, ginger and turmeric keep things bright and golden, brown rice adds a nice chew, and zucchini contributes its soft sweetness. Not counting salt, pepper, oil and the optional chile crisp to finish, this dish is only seven ingredients and comes together in under an hour. Because even if the weather is nice, you can still, unfortunately, be under it. (Note: This soup is delicious even if you’re not sick.) Featured Recipe Ginger Chicken and Rice Soup with ZucchiniToday’s specialsSan choy bao (pork and water chestnut lettuce wraps): My mom used to make a version of this pretty regularly, and wow did I love this meal. You eat it with your hands (always a plus); it’s so crispy-crunchy from the iceberg lettuce cups and water chestnuts; and it has plenty of salty-sweet-sticky hoisin sauce. I’m excited to cook this Genevieve Ko recipe and make it my own. Tortellini pasta salad: Ali Slagle devised this recipe as an easy, healthy desk lunch, and I’d add that it would work equally well for any sort of potluck situation you might have on deck. The reader comments are full of great suggestions: Add capers, oregano or toasted nuts; swap the jarred roasted red peppers for marinated artichoke hearts; increase the arugula — or, as Ali suggests, swap the pasta for farro. White chocolate raspberry cookies: Do you ever pick up a special ingredient, something you don’t usually buy, and stash it away for the perfect recipe? For me, that’s been the case with a package of freeze-dried raspberries, which I’m now certain were just waiting for this cookie recipe from Autumn Moultrie and Eric Kim.
And before you goI have a real soft spot for cinnamon raisin swirl bread, as well as the concept of “oozy chocolate and wobbly marshmallows,” so this Ali Slagle recipe goes on the to-grill list. Click here or on the image below to watch these dessert sandwiches come together:
