Herbes de Provence Potato Leek Soup

15 min

Herbes de Provence is a classic French blend of garden herbs including marjoram, savory, chervil, thyme, dill weed, and tarragon. These delicate herbs give the broth a layered flavor and season the vegetables with a light touch. Every bite is a different texture with pops of salt from the capers. This soup can be easily made vegan using veggie stock, or if you want to indulge, add a splash of cream to your bowl for a chowder like soup that is perfect for dipping crusty bread.

Hot and Sour Soup

A perennial favorite, you'll always find a version of this soup on the menu in Chinese-American restaurants. You'll be glad to know how to make this takeout favorite, and it's easier than you might expect!. Much of the heat comes from the white peppercorns and the sour comes from rice wine vinegar. The lion's share of prep time comes in getting the array ingredients ready, then it comes together in no time. Perfect for a chilly day or a Lunar New Year's feast. White peppercorn is spicy, musky and earthy. These qualities play well with the variety of woodsy mushrooms and pork loin.

Savory White Bean Soup

Creamy white beans, aromatic savory and perfectly cooked vegetables make this rustic soup a mid-winter delight. With a nod to the upcoming Mardi Gras season we've brightened the dish with Bay Leaf & Black Pepper Lemon Paste. The soup is a quick cook and makes the perfect weeknight dinner. It is best served right away to enjoy the bright colors and healthy texture of the vegetables alongside your favorite loaf of crusty bread.

Rooster Ramen with Black Garlic

We've come a long way from the dorm room hot plate and elevated a pack of instant ramen to new heights with our deliciously unique blends like Rooster Spice and Bulgogi Spice. It includes something to satisfy every flavor craving, and you can mix and match the flavors to make your own bowl just the way you like it. We pulled out all the stops, and all the garnishes, to make this bowl, but you can also use the seasonings individually to season any protein or broth.

Cuban Spiced Black Bean Soup

As the days are getting shorter, the air is getting colder, and here in Seattle the sun is making fewer and fewer public appearances. It can be easy to get lost in the gloomy grey blanket of winter in the Pacific Northwest (I know I'd rather be on a beach), but winter does bring the time for some of my favorite meals. Rich, hearty, long-simmering stews, soups, and braised meats can be the perfect accompaniment to a cozy night indoors by the fire or fortification to warm you from the inside when you have to brave the elements outdoors.To beat the winter blues, I like to crank up the rumba, turn on the sun lamp, and make a big pot of black bean soup with Cuban Spice, while day dreaming about a Havana vacation. Our Cuban Spice adds a bright flavor to hearty ingredients like black beans and ham, and brings them together with fresh ingredients . Although this recipe is very mild, it takes a few hot peppers quite well for those of us looking for a little extra zing.

Biscayne Corn Chowder

Bright and spicy, this corn chowder is bursting with Caribbean flavor. Our Biscayne Citrus Rub is featured here, packed with spices like thyme, oregano, chile flakes, and citrus peel to bring out the natural sweet flavor of the corn. Smoked ham gives this chowder a meaty flavor, and the corn is grilled to bring a bit of fiery flavor.To get a perfect texture in this chowder, the ham and vegetables should be uniformly diced small. Cubes of about 1/4 inch work well. Aside from a bit of chopping, this dish is quick and easy to bring together. It's perfect as a side dish for a backyard summer bbq or a low-maintenance weeknight meal.

Hopi Beef Stew with Cornmeal Dumplings

When the weather starts to cool off, there's nothing quite so comforting as a hot bowl of chunky, homemade stew. This Southwestern style Hopi Beef Stew with Cornmeal Dumplings brings together some of the crops which originated in the Americas - squash, pumpkin, chile peppers and, most importantly, corn.Corn is considered sacred amongst the Pueblo and Navajo people, and plays an important role in their legends, ceremonies and daily lives. Most of us are used to only seeing yellow corn, but it also comes in a variety of colors, including red, blue and multi-colored. Here, we've combined yellow cornmeal along with other traditional ingredients and our own New Mexico Chili Powder, a mild, earthy blend of New Mexico chile, guajillo chile, paprika, cumin, garlic and onion. We've also included our own Alderwood smoked salt and, in the dumplings, some ground sage to bring a dash of Southwestern flavor.Recipe adapted from Marcia Keegan, "Pueblo and Navajo Cookery," Earth Books, 1977
