Soup's On: Spicy Broth With Chicken and Avocado

After making a simple yet delicious roast chicken, I had a ton of leftovers.
by

After making a simple yet delicious roast chicken, I had a ton of leftovers. Rather than just eat chicken salad for a couple days, I perused my cookbooks for something new to try. While looking through Tyler Florence's Eat This Book: Cooking With Global Fresh Flavors, I found the perfect recipe for a spicy chicken broth. It's served over cooked shredded chicken and accompanied by sliced avocado, just-fried tortillas, and cilantro. The broth is pretty spicy, so if you need to cut the heat, add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraiche. This exceptionally fresh-flavored soup is easy to throw together for a cool Autumn night. Ready to heat up your kitchen? Keep reading for the recipe.

Product Review: Amy's Organic Tuscan Bean and Rice Soup

Looking for a filling, portable lunch idea?

Looking for a filling, portable lunch idea? Check out YumSugar Community member girlA's review of Amy's Organic Tuscan Bean and Rice Soup from the Dairy Free Diva Recipe Exchange Group:

Today was just a soup day. Good thing I picked up a couple of cans of Amy’s Organic Soups the other day — two for $4. I had never tried their canned soup before, so I was interested in giving them a whirl since I’ve had good luck with other Amy’s products in the past.

Just heat and serve — that’s it.

Ground Meat Galore at Meatball Madness!

Besides revealing a little of her personal life at a demonstration, Giada De Laurentiis also hosted one of the kickoff parties to the Food Network's New York City Wine and Food Festival.

Besides revealing a little of her personal life at a demonstration, Giada De Laurentiis also hosted one of the kickoff parties to the Food Network's New York City Wine and Food Festival. On Thursday night she was taking pictures and passing out meatballs at Meatball Madness, a walk-around competition that featured over 30 of New York's Italian restaurants and chefs. While I thoroughly enjoyed Nate Appleman's (of Pulino's Bar and Pizzeria) pepperoni meatball, my favorite was from Missy Robbins of A Voce. Her meatball was stuffed with a wonderfully creamy herb and ricotta mixture. The top prize of the people's choice award, however, went to Mia Dona's Donatella Arpaia. Her tasty meatball was served slider-style on potato focaccia with cacciocavallo cheese. It was spicy and pretty darn delicious!

What's Your Go-To Protein?

Even though I'm not a vegetarian, when the inevitable question of what to make for dinner comes up, I gravitate toward tofu.

Even though I'm not a vegetarian, when the inevitable question of what to make for dinner comes up, I gravitate toward tofu. I love Asian cuisine, so I have tofu-friendly soy sauce, sesame oil, and red chili paste stocked in my fridge and a rice cooker at arm's length. Plus, compared to beef, pork, or chicken, it's the easiest and quickest protein to prepare. While some people find tofu lacking when up against meatier "meats," I consider it an equal to more traditional options. When you're running to the store, what protein do you stock up on?

Monday's Leftovers: Chicken Sausages With Cabbage Slaw

After last night's rustic Italian-influenced bean stew, switch gears and serve your leftover chicken sausage with a light, bright cabbage and apple slaw. Unlike mayonnaise-based or even Asian-themed coleslaws, this one combines a bit of cider vinegar (for tang), buttermilk (for creaminess), and apples (for texture) to produce a sweet-tart, crunchy salad that foils the richness of a pan-fried sausage. For the recipe, read on.
