Hot Yogurt Soup with Barley and Cilantro
In the Middle East, yogurt is used in hot dishes as well as cold. To stabilize the yogurt so that it doesn’t curdle when it cooks, you stir in a little cornstarch. This simple soup is both comforting and light, and it’s good at any time of year. At this time of year I’d serve it warm but not simmering hot.
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.
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.
Mashed Celeriac And Potatoes
Chilled Pea, Lettuce and Herb Soup
This elegant soup is sweet and heavenly. The texture is silky and the consistency thick -- but only because there are lots of peas in it. I used water rather than stock when I tested this recipe, and it worked just fine.
Yogurt or Buttermilk Soup With Spinach and Grains
This is informed by my yogurt or buttermilk soup with wheat berries from a few weeks ago, but this time I stirred chopped steamed spinach into the refreshing mixture. It’s a great soup to keep on hand as summer arrives. For a particularly irresistible version, add some diced avocado.
Majorcan Bread and Vegetable Soup
This thick soup is traditionally made with day-old bread, which soaks up much of the broth. Add a poached egg if you want an even more substantial meal.
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.
Pureed Potato and Broccoli Soup With Parmesan Croutons
The broccoli is added to this classic potato soup towards the end of the cooking time, so that it maintains its bright color and sweet flavor. The soup will have a silkier texture if you take the time to strain it after pureeing.
Stir-Fried Broccoli Rabe With Beets
Rich Garlic Soup With Spinach and Pasta
This is a heartier version of garlic soup, a meal in a bowl with a generous egg yolk enrichment and lots of iron-rich spinach.

Henrietta’s Hash Browns
The secret to perfect hash browns, the chef Peter Davis of Henrietta's Table in Cambridge, Massachusetts, told The Times in 2010, is to take a few moments at night to clarify the butter you will use to make the dish in the morning, removing the milk solids that would otherwise burn as you cook. As a corollary, something to do as the butter melts and you strain out the solids, boil off some potatoes, then let them dry in the refrigerator over night. Grate them in the morning, and cook in the clarified butter. When you've got a good crust going, place a plate over the pan, put your hand on it and quickly invert the whole. Then slide the new bottom, until recently the unfinished top, back into the pan to continue cooking. Serve with eggs, naturally.
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.
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.
Red Cabbage and Apple Soup
This is a sweet and spicy winter soup, inspired by a classic red cabbage and apple braise. The yogurt is important here; it enriches the soup at the end. You could also use fat-free sour cream.
