GOT SOUP? • Yes. We have soup! From casual to elegant, there’s something here for everyone. Lobster joins coconut and corn for a holiday or special occasion soup. Steakhouse Soup satisfies when a hearty-ish bowl is what you’re after. The vibrant, vegetarian Carrot Miso Soup ticks the mmm good and pretty good-for-you boxes. And five-spiced Chicken Wonton Soup is a great idea any night of the week, but especially for Chinese New Year. Now ladle up some comfort in a cup!

Let’s get it STARTED • As the holiday season approaches, plans are set, invitations made, menus created, groceries bought, and pulses quicken. But, for things to quickly and easily fall into place on Thanksgiving, prior preparation is key, and this make-ahead menu is the first step in getting it all started.

LET’S GO DUTCH • A pot for all seasons — a Dutch oven is pretty cool — it seals heat inside and actually creates an oven inside the pot. Dutch ovens were originally used in campfires, with hot coals loaded on top and underneath the pot to generate heat for cooking. So they’re useful on the open range — but how about on a kitchen range?

BACK TO BASICS • Through all of our recipe testing and tasting, the Cuisine staff have uncovered a few bits of info that both novice and pro soup, stew, and chili makers should find helpful. Plus, there’s a review on broths, as well as a recipe for homemade broth. Read on.
