    Creamy Tomato Soup

    This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a larger group—and makes for great leftovers. For a lighter soup, omit the cream; or for a little decadence, add more cream or swirl in a little crème fraîche.

    Faux Pho

    Anyone who has made pho will recognize the technique of charring the onions and ginger to add smoky aromatic flavor to this broth, which is exceptional when done with homemade stock, and a brilliant flavor shortcut when using a store-bought stock. We call for ramen noodles, since they’re easy to find, but you can definitely substitute dried or fresh rice noodles if you prefer.
