  • Beef Sancocho

    Beef Sancocho

    How to Make Beef Sancocho

    My grandparents would make sancocho over an open fire in their backyard; the wood smoke added so much flavor to the dish. Sancocho comes from the verb sancochar, which means to parboil. It is a very hearty soup common in all of Latin America, made of stewing hen, beef, and innards and served for lunch. Don’t worry; you don’t have to start a fire to make this version!

    Receta en Español: Sancocho Carne de Res

    To make your own salt-free Adobo seasoning, combine 1 tbsp each of lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, and achiote powder and 1/2 tbsp cumin. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

    How to Make Chilled Tarragon and Tomato Soup

    Fresh tomatoes and herbs are as important to summer Mediterranean menus as they are to American ones.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
    2. Place the tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp of the tarragon in a food processor or blender. Mix to form a smooth soup.
    3. Place a large, fine mesh strainer or chinois over a bowl and pour in the soup. Use a wooden spoon to turn and press the soup through the strainer, a little at a time, until the tomato solids are left in the strainer and the liquid has passed through.
    4. Place the soup in a large saucepan and season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
    5. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the soup is thickened and the volume has been reduced by about a third.
    6. Garnish the soup with the remaining tarragon leaves. Refrigerate and serve chilled. (If preferred, serve warm.)

  • Caldo Verde (Green Soup)

    Caldo Verde (Green Soup)

    How to Make Caldo Verde (Green Soup)

    This classic Portuguese Soup is satisfying in every way. Traditionally, the soup is done with water, but chicken stock adds greater depth of flavor in this recipe. Chicken sausage instead of the traditional chorizo makes for a more diabetes-friendly dish. The kale adds a vibrant green color that gives Caldo Verde it’s name. Feel free to play with different types of greens like collard greens or spinach.
    *Look for fully cooked chicken sausage (your choice of flavor) with <500 mg sodium per 3 oz link.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot, add the sausage and cook until it’s lightly golden all over, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pan, transfer to a bowl and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
    2. Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add the garlic and cook until it just starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until it’s soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Then add the potatoes and mix well, allowing them to get hot, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, about 4 minutes.
    3. Add the cooked sausage back to the pot along with the chicken stock. Cover the pot and bring the soup to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently until the potatoes are just cooked and fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
    4. Add the greens and cook at a gentle simmer until the kale is bright green and wilted, about 5 minutes. If you want to prepare the soup ahead of time, hold the kale and add just 5 minutes before serving. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
