What to Cook

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Next Monday, Bend-La Pine Schools will celebrate National Farm to School Month by serving up from-scratch chicken noodle soup, featuring carrots grown at a Tumalo farm, at free meal sites throughout the district. The effort is a partnership between Bend-La Pine Schools, a local farm and the Garden for Every School team at The Environmental Center in Bend.  “We are excited to showcase these locally grown and harvested carrots in our delicious homemade chicken soup,” said Garra Schluter, Nutrition Services supervisor. “We work hard to partner with local farmers, while providing the best food possible for our students.” The local carrots are just one example of how Bend-La Pine Schools works with local agricultural businesses. Every week, our schools serve 3,500 pounds of apples and fruit from orchards in Kimberly and 500 pounds of beef from ranchers in Fossil. Schools also use berries and melons from Mount Angel, wheat from Eugene to make from-scratch breads...

Winter is coming, so let’s talk soup. As one of the world’s oldest dishes, pretty much every culture around the world claims a staple soup. Whether it’s Thai tom yum, Mexican pozole, or good old chicken noodle, each one begins with a base of water, aromatics and often animal protein to which the cook adds anything and everything from vegetables to spices to seafood. Not only do hot soups feel nourishing for the soul, but hours-long cooking ensures that vital nutrients extracted from bones seep into the broth, yielding a bowl ready to kick seasonal maladies––and certainly, a comfort to consider in helping us feel healthy and warm in the upcoming winter months. For Thai Diner co-owner and chef Anne Redding, soups are more than just a meal: “My Thai mother made me tom yum soup as a child whenever I got sick,” recalls Redding. “She called it ‘medicine’—that it would make me feel better.” Similarly, Little Alley chef Yuchun Cheung notes that Chinese custom dictates soup to be served as a...

With the arrival of fall, and hopefully chillier weather soon, also comes the season for soups that will warm you inside out. My favorite soup is the classic chicken noodle soup. It’s such a simple soup, but I love it. I’ve made my own for years now and it’s something my family actually asks me to make, whether they are feeling under the weather or if they’re just wanting soup. My version of chicken noodle soup is extra easy. I boil chicken in broth while also cooking chopped celery and carrots. I like my celery and carrots completely soft, so the cooking process takes a while. Then I shred the chicken and throw it back in the broth. I add pepper and some salt. My preference when it comes to this soup is lots of noodles, which isn’t the case for most recipes. One recipe I have tried can be found online at https://ift.tt/2vhCwj8. What I like about this recipe is that it uses bone-in chicken, which gives the broth a nice, rich flavor. I also am a fan of the addition of parsley leave...

By Vi Yen   &nbspOctober 13, 2020 | 10:57 am GMT+7 A food stall in Saigon has become well-known for its tuna darne noodle soup, a dish originating in the coastal resort town of Nha Trang. Though Nha Trang cuisine is well known in Saigon, there are few places that serve such an authentic tuna noodle soup in town. The noodles come in a clear savory soup with the highlight being the darne of tuna served along with fish cakes, quail eggs and a hearty sprinkling of chives. At the eatery at 43CT Tam Dao Street, Ward 15, District 10, customers can choose between a standard bowl for VND32,000 ($1.38) and a special bowl with extra fillings for VND40,000 ($1.73).

With the weather (eventually) getting chillier, many being seeking comfort within the confines of their own homes and, by extension, in their cuisine. Soup is one of the best parts of having a warm and cozy winter and in the US, there are five soups that constantly beat out any competition. They follow no rhyme or reason and none of these soups are even similar to one another... except in the sense that they're all delicious and comforting. A soup-lovers first instinct might be to purchase these soups in a can from their local supermarket, but wait! There's something all foodies should know when it comes to soup from scratch: Not only is it healthier to make these at home, but soups are basically a blank canvas, which means that any of these can be dressed up to reflect a foodie's personal taste. advertising What do we mean by that? Keep reading to find out. Tomato Soup Tomato soup might seem daunting because having it straight out of a can lends itself to a smooth...

Kary Osmond/TNS Love ordering Thai noodle soup takeout? Try making it at home. It’s super simple and all you need is five ingredients to make the broth. Once you master that, you can have fun with the vegetables and noodles. I like the technique of roasting the vegetables rather than simmering them in the broth, as it slightly sweetens them.

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrot and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, 1 cup (250 mL) of the nutritional yeast, and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of the thyme. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the water and bring to a boil uncovered. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. In a small pot of salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water to stop the pasta from cooking further. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the parsley, the remaining ½ cup (125 mL) nutritional yeast, the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 mL) thyme, and the pasta. Serve immediately or cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

The salty-sweet trademark of modern Taiwanese cuisine is a product of the island nation’s local indigenous flavors and outside culinary influences from China, Japan, and even America. Here in the Southland, Taiwanese restaurants dotting nearly every corner of the city serve comforting bowls of beef noodle soup, crisp green onion pancakes, and colorful boba drinks. From traditional mom and pop shops to modernized second-generation takes, here now are 19 marvelous Taiwanese restaurants to taste in Los Angeles. A number of LA restaurants have resumed dine-in service. The level of service offered is indicated on each map point. However, this should not be taken as endorsement for dining in, as there are still safety concerns: for updated information on coronavirus cases in your area, please visit the Los Angeles Public Health website . Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants followi...

Progresso soup labeled chicken noodle soup is actually another kind of soup. The Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs (DLCA) Division of Consumer Affairs notifies the public that on Tuesday, Aug. 18, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that Fairbult Foods Inc., a Fairbult Minnesota establishment, recalled approximately 15,000 of canned soup product due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The cans labeled as chicken noodle soup actually contain a meatball and pasta product.  The canned soup items were produced on May 26, 2020, and bear an establishment number “EST18826A” printed on the bottom of the can under the “best by date.” These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.  The following products are subject to recall: 14-oz. cans of “PROGRESSO ORGANIC CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP” with a best by date of “BestByMAY262022” printed on the bottom of the can and a best by date of “09JUN2022” print...

Media Credit: Diego Mendoza | Staff Photographer Mala Tang is a six-minute walk from Virginia Square on the Orange Line. It’s been a minute, but we’re bringing back Dish of the Week as restaurants continue to open around the DMV.  I decided to check out Mala Tang in Arlington, Virginia, which is a six-minute walk from the Virginia Square Metro Station, on the Orange Line. Mala Tang’s name means “hot and numbing soup” in Mandarin and the restaurant offers Sichuan-style hot pot dinner.  Post-pandemic, you could order a large pot of a Sichuan peppercorn broth ($8.95) and various “mala bites,” or skewers of raw meats and vegetables like lamb and lotus root that you boil in the soup directly at your table (between $0.65 and $10 per skewer). You can still order the skewers pre-boiled for take-out and delivery, but I find that sitting down with friends for hot pot is better. Still, Mala Tang offers a variety of tasty Chinese and Cantonese street food snacks that will surely...

The coronavirus pandemic forced the closure of Los Angeles area restaurants back on March 15. Like most of us, I haven’t had an in-restaurant dining experience ever since. Oh, I’ve gotten takeout — lots and lots of takeout. And I’m grateful for that. But honestly, I miss the joy of sitting in a restaurant, observing the rituals of the kitchen and the dining room, spying on my fellow diners and … enjoying a meal. I’ve spent my life eating for a living. There are weeks when I dine out for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. It’s part of who I am. Eating in restaurants has been built into my DNA since I lived in New York, then in San Francisco and finally here in Southern California. I am because I dine out. It defines me. And it pains me, sad as it may sound, to eat at home. No matter how good the takeout, it just ain’t the same. I’ve also spent weekday evenings, and weekend afternoons, driving through the streets of our normally very tasty city, a culinary voyeur, staring mournfull...

Some experiences make you long for life’s simple pleasures—like a cozy, firelit nook and delicious food. For S.M. Covey in the 1890s, spending a night lost in a Wyoming blizzard was that experience. For Utahns in 2020, it was, well, the last several months of stay-at-home orders. Like Covey, the founder of Little America and its namesake Coffee Shop in Salt Lake City, you’ve probably come to appreciate the best things in life—like a really, really good café menu. Of course, delicious food is a team effort, and Little America’s Coffee Shop is a prime example of a culinary tour de force. Led by Little America’s Executive Chef Bernhard Götz, the Coffee Shop enchants taste buds at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with an array of must-try dishes. Try one (or all) of these house favorites.

He’s your hope, you’re his hope. Throughout his time with BTS, this K-pop performer shared a few of his favorite songs to dance and rap.
