Chicken Paprikash Soup

This hearty soup takes inspiration from Hungarian chicken paprikash, with a creamy, paprika-flavored broth studded with tomatoes, bell pepper and chicken.

Swedish Meatball Soup

We use the flavor profile of Swedish meatballs, like the ones you find at your local IKEA store, as the inspiration for this savory soup. The creamy broth makes an ideal base for the soup. Refrigerating the meat mixture for at least 15 to 20 minutes before shaping the meatballs helps them keep their shape. Use a small ice cream or cookie scoop, if you have one, to portion the meatballs.

Prepared red curry paste offers bold notes of ginger, garlic, coriander, chiles and red bell pepper. Allowing the curry paste to cook a bit helps it bloom and intensifies the flavor. Creamy coconut milk helps keep the spice level even and mild. Serve with sticky rice or noodles on the side.
