Soup and Stew Recipes
Masoori Dal (Nepali Lentils)
This “every day” South Asian dish is healthy comfort food at its best and requires just a short list of basic ingredients. When it comes to sharing cuisine from other countries, I often mention that a given recipe is “inspired by” a certain country or style of cooking and make no claims to authenticity. The following…

Favorite Soup Recipes
It’s hard to beat the warming comfort of a hearty bowl of soup.

Easy to make and deeply satisfying, a simple adjustment makes this soul-warming soup vegan-friendly.
