Egg Lemon Soup with Matzos
Rather than making matzo balls for this comforting soup, I crumble matzos into the broth -- no schmaltz required. In Greece the chicken that is later served as part of the main course for Passover is simmered in water with aromatic vegetables to create the broth. You can make a very tasty vegetarian version using garlic broth (my favorite) or vegetable broth. I like to add steamed Swiss chard when I stir in the egg-lemon mixture, but you could add another green spring vegetable, like fresh peas, spinach or asparagus. Steam them first until tender and add to the soup just before serving.

Couscous Risotto

Puréed Zucchini Soup With Curry
Just the right amount of basmati rice contributes just the right amount of substance to this beautiful, light spring soup.

Roasted Carrot, Parsnip and Potato Soup
This is a creamy, comforting winter soup that is incredibly simple to make. All you need to do is blend together broth and roasted vegetables and heat through. You can make the soup with other roasted vegetables as well, but I love the sweet combination of the carrots and parsnips. If you’ve got roasted vegetables on hand, you’ll need about 4 cups.

Swiss Chard and Rice Soup
In the late spring and early summer we are surrounded by great big bunches of chard with wide stems and lush leaves, tender leeks, the last of the fava beans, first of the green beans and the first of the summer squash, still small and delicate. In not a lot of time, you can do what the French do: make soup. Rice will bulk up the soup. Though a starchy medium-grain rice like Arborio works, this recipe uses white basmati, which swells to four times its original size when cooked. You could try using brown basmati rice, but the color of the soup will be duller. If you’re looking for an easy way to reduce your calorie intake, these soups will help. They’re filling and light, and make great low-calorie meals. This is a simple and comforting soup that is especially delicious in the spring, when Swiss chard is at its sweetest and most tender.

Sweet Potato Soup With Ginger, Leek and Apple
This was our favorite recipe test of the soup batch. Inspired by a sweet potato and apple purée I make every year for Thanksgiving, the soup also has savory overtones. For a spectacular finish, garnish each bowl with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of medium-hot chili powder or chipotle chili powder.

Jerusalem Artichoke Soup With Crispy Sage Leaves

Veracruzana Crab Soup
This is an elegant soup that I’ve served at dinner parties as well as family dinners. It has a spicy depth of flavor, resulting from the combination of pickled capers, pickled jalapeños (don’t substitute fresh for canned here) and olives.

Turnip, Leek and Potato Soup
A simple French soup that works well regardless of which vegetable gets the emphasis. This is a simple French soup. If you want to vary the proportions of vegetables you can; it works well whether you emphasize the turnips, as I do here, the leeks or the potatoes. Turnips have a slightly bitter edge, and tarragon makes a lovely sweet garnish. Chives would also work.

Moroccan Carrot Soup With Mussels
This is a Moroccan-style carrot soup, which can be served either hot or cold. Subtle sweetness (carrots), acidity (lemon), spice (cumin), fragrance (cilantro) and a touch of salinity (mussels) mirror the very aromas and flavor notes that the best of these German spätlese riesling wines deliver . The soup can also be made without the mussels, but not without the cilantro.

Roasted Winter Squash With Miso Glaze
Winter squash, already sweet and caramelized from roasting, makes as delicious a partner for miso glaze as eggplant.

Celeriac, Potato, Leek and Apple Soup
A sweet and savory mixture that works well as a soup. I’ve always loved the combination of celeriac, potatoes and apples, which I first tasted in France as a celeriac, potato and apple purée. The sweet and savory mixture works very nicely as a soup. I like to strain this soup after I purée it to get a velvety texture.

Leek and Turnip Soup With Kale and Walnut Garnish
I recommend that you make a quick stock with the leek greens, onion and turnips trimmings while you chop the vegetables. Just throw them in a pot with a couple of quarts of water, bring to a simmer, cover partially and simmer 20 minutes. Strain through a fine strainer into a bowl. Kale, which comes from the same botanical family as turnips, makes a complementary garnish and the crunchy walnuts contrast beautifully with the smooth, sweet-tasting soup.

Puréed Tomato and Red Pepper Soup
I noticed that the most popular boxed soup at my supermarket is a tomato and red pepper soup, so I decided to come up with my own version.

Andalusian Chickpea and Spinach Soup
A simple peasant soup that is often served with toasted or fried bread doused with vinegar, pine nuts, hard-boiled egg and parsley added at the end, this is a filling and comforting soup that is still suitable for a late spring/early summer meal.

Fennel, Garlic and Potato Soup
This anise-scented soup is reminiscent of the classic potato and leek soup known as vichyssoise, but it’s lighter and contains no dairy. It’s good hot or cold.

Egg Lemon Soup With Turkey
Modeled after a classic Greek egg lemon soup, this is one of many light, comforting soups that make a nice home for leftover turkey. If you haven’t made stock with the turkey carcass, a quick garlic or vegetable stock will do. Make sure that the soup is not at a boil when you add the tempered egg-lemon mixture, or the egg yolks will curdle. The soup should be creamy.

Hazelnut, Orange and Honey Biscotti
Orange, hazelnut and honey make a wonderful combination in this whole wheat biscotti. The hard cookies should be sliced thin, which will yield a lot of cookies! They are wonderful dipped in tea.

Sparkling Pineapple Soup
Grated fresh pineapple and sparkling wine are the main ingredients in this cold, refreshing soup. A garnish of toasted coconut continues the tropical theme. It’s vacation as dessert.

Cranberry-Pomegranate Sauce
Pomegranate, honey and Meyer lemon zest boosts the flavor of the traditional cranberry sauce in this version from Amy Lawrence, and her husband, Justin Fox Burks, the authors of the Chubby Vegetarian blog.

Cherry Balsamic Iced Tea

Vietnamese Pancakes

Kale Salad With Butternut Squash, Cranberries and Pepitas
This satisfying autumnal salad from Kathryn Anible, a personal chef in New York, is dressed with a sweet-tart apple cider vinaigrette.
