The Kitchen is getting a full day of meals on the table with easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert! Geoffrey Zakarian kicks things off with his daughters as his sous chefs, making simple Huevos Rancheros. Then Katie Lee and Jeff Mauro pair up for a sandwich-and-soup combo: Katie's Grilled Cheese with Chipotle Mayo and Bacon and Jeff's Sheet Pan Roasted Tomato Soup. Dinner is covered with Sunny Anderson's 1-2-3 Rub with Grilled Chicken and Alex Guarnaschelli's Cucumber Salad. Finally, the hosts all get together for a virtual happy hour complete with a pantry sweet and a shout-out to some very special people.
This is a great vegetarian anytime-of-the-year minestrone that you can customize to what is in season or what you like in your soup. The vegetables and herbs are easily swappable in the same amounts as listed in the recipe.
This soup starts off simply -- sliced, Spanish-style chorizo sauteed with onions and garlic until fragrant. Then, add rinsed canned chickpeas, tomatoes, a few spices and chicken broth, and let the whole thing simmer.
