Chicken stew with warm, wintry spices

Tender, flavorful chicken; hearty potatoes and carrots; bright, fresh green beans and tomatoes; a thick broth with soft, comforting spices. Yep.

Green beans and seitan in black bean sauce

Salty, spicy green beans, just a little oily. Pan-fried seitan soaking up the sauce. A bed of rice, and a plateful of heaven.

This soup is a riff on traditional Mexican sopa de albondigas, meatball soup. It’s bright and full of herbs and vegetables, perfect for spring.
