  • Chicken Soup to the Rescue (The 2nd Ave. Deli Delivers)

    Chicken Soup to the Rescue (The 2nd Ave. Deli Delivers)

    The scene: our living room. Craig is sneezing, coughing, blowing his nose. He’s not happy. He’s feeling unwell. Me? I’m ok, I’ve avoided the cold so far. But I am sympathetic, I am suggesting he buy cold medicine, and then I suggest what my mother and grandmother would undoubtedly suggest if they were in the…

  • Michael Symon’s Spicy Tomato & Blue Cheese Soup

    Michael Symon’s Spicy Tomato & Blue Cheese Soup

    At the end of yesterday’s video podcast with Michael Symon, you may have heard me sheepishly express doubt about adding blue cheese to tomato soup. For some reason, I thought the result would be grainy and gloppy and just kind of gross. Instead, this tomato soup was absolutely the best tomato soup I’ve ever had–and…

    Heidi’s Lentil Soup

    Hillary Clinton says “it takes a village,” but I think it takes a recipe. What I mean is sometimes you think you don’t like a certain dish because you’ve had so many bad versions of that dish, but then suddenly you encounter a recipe for that dish that takes you by surprise and you find…

    Summer Borscht

    Veselka in the East Village is a New York institution; NYU students stumble in there late at night to sober up.

    Spicy Cauliflower Soup & Braised Lobster Mushrooms

    How does dinner happen? It happens in many ways. We ask the person we’re with, “What are you in the mood for?” or we just pick up the phone and dial the Thai place down the street or the pizza place around the corner. Or, if we have the ingredients, we make a quick bowl…

  • AGTV: Stock & Soup

    Sorry for the delay in getting you this week’s video. I think it’s safe to say now that I won’t be doing a video every WEDNESDAY, but I will try to do a video every week. This one, as you’re about to see, is an incredibly spontaneous document of my attempt at the chicken stock…

    Hey Muchacho, Make Gazpacho (and Parmesan Grilled Cheese!)

    Hot? Hungry? Have I got a solution for you. It comes courtesy of Suzanne Goin and her “Sunday Suppers at Lucques.” It’s her recipe for Yellow Tomato Gazpacho and you can read it here. It’s INCREDIBLY easy, and INCREDIBLY rewarding. All you need are yellow tomatoes, a jalapeno, cilantro, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, salt and…

  • Green Garlic Soup

    Green Garlic Soup

    At the farmer’s market last week, I spotted green garlic and I recalled a whole section about green garlic in my favorite cookbook: Chez Panisse Cooking. On page 105, Paul Bertolli and Alice Waters write: “Garlic is commonly used as a mature plant when the bulb containing many cloves has formed. Green garlic is the…
