This French onion cabbage soup is a creative twist on the classic, bringing a new level of comfort to this warming soup. This version swaps out some of the onion for caramelized cabbage.

This dish combines the rich flavors of a traditional chicken Parm—juicy seasoned chicken, tangy marinara sauce and savory Parmesan cheese—with the warmth and comfort of a soup. It’s perfect for those chilly days when you crave something familiar with a fun, innovative twist!

Roasting the vegetables in the oven before blending them intensifies their flavors, resulting in a deeply rich and flavorful fall soup. We love the sweet and nutty flavor of butternut squash, but any winter squash with a similar texture, such as acorn, honeynut or kabocha squash, can be used in its place.
Chicken Fajita Soup

This roasted vegetable soup uses a diverse and delicious array of vegetables, supporting gut health with prebiotic ingredients like sweet potato, leeks and chickpeas, plus you get a probiotic boost from white miso.

Alex Guarnaschelli says: “Stracciatella means ‘little rags’ and its definition finds its name on a type of cheese, a type of gelato and this simple chicken soup layered with Parmesan cheese and eggs. My mother would randomly make this soup and I have rarely made any form of chicken soup without Parmesan since. It’s a hearty broth, eggs making little “rags” in the broth and the salt from the cheese are super nostalgic and always delicious.”
