The Best Lentil Soup
Brown lentils are the star of this dish. To boost flavor, we used a classic mirepoix—onion, celery and carrot – as well as thyme, bay and oregano for an herby finish. We found the fresh lemon juice and parsley at the end brightened up the soup and added a nice pop of color.

French Onion Soup
A fan-favorite soup that will warm you right up on a chilly night. The key to a good French onion soup is to make sure the onions are completely soft and caramelized. It's tempting to rush the process but, if you cook them slowly, until they're a deep brown color, you'll see what we mean.

Egusi Stew
Popular in West African countries, egusi stew is made with egusi, or melon seeds, which have been ground and cooked in a tomato and/or bell pepper stew, depending on the country or tribe. I grew up knowing this dish as a "stew," but it can also be referred to as a "soup." Often the stew is finished with a type of leafy green vegetable. In Nigeria, uziza and spinach are used. Though I enjoy egusi stew with spinach, as my mother-in-law makes it, I have come to love it with collard greens even more. Egusi can be paired with pounded yam, fufu, eba (gari balls) or steamed white rice.
Get the Recipe: Egusi Stew
Peanut Soup
Peanut soup, also known as groundnut soup, is eaten throughout certain West African countries. Though made differently depending on the region or tribe, the common ingredient is peanuts. The process of cooking peanut soup in Ghana is slightly different from the way my mom taught my sisters and me here in the United States. In Ghana, the peanuts are first roasted and then ground with some water. This peanut butter liquid is continually stirred and cooked until it starts to thicken a bit, then it's stirred into another pot with homemade broth using a variety of meats and dried fish simmering on a coal pot. My mom’s process of making this soup is the shortcut version. She blends natural peanut butter from the grocery store with peppers and garlic. My version is also a shortcut, but my broth is made with smoked turkey wings because I love the flavor it adds to the soup.
Get the Recipe: Peanut Soup
1-Hour Beef Pho
This extreme cheater’s version of beef pho takes several shortcuts to keep the prep and cook time to only 1 hour (instead of up to 12). We start with store-bought beef broth rather than making it from scratch—but to make the soup even richer, you can substitute bone broth. Instead of roasting then simmering onions and ginger in large pieces for hours, they’re simply sliced and given a quick high-heat saute to coax out as much flavor as possible in the shortened cooking time. In place of dried rice stick noodles, we opted for fresh ones that cook in mere seconds and come out perfectly toothsome every time.
Get the Recipe: 1-Hour Beef Pho
Pasta e Ceci
This simple, hearty dish is pure Italian comfort food. Made with double carbs (chickpeas -- the “ceci” -- and ditalini!), it’s somewhere between a soup and a pasta, bringing the best qualities of both to one bowl. While it’s optional, the Parmesan rind adds a depth of flavor here as well as to other soups and stews, especially vegetarian ones. Whenever you finish a wedge of Parmesan, just wrap the leftover rind well in plastic and keep it in the fridge. The lemon zest and juice add a bright note to the broth that’s thickened by mashing some of the chickpeas. If you don’t have a potato masher, you can mash the chickpeas against the sides of the pot with a wooden spoon.
