Quick & Easy: Satisfying soups and stews


Chicken and Green Bean Stew: Serve this healthy and flavourful chicken stew over curly egg noodles. Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, not breast, so the meat stays moist and doesn’t dry out.

Halibut and Spinach Curry: Curry paste is the secret to authentic flavour in this quick curry. Use a spicier curry paste if you like it hot, or omit the jalapeno if you prefer a mild heat. Toasting the spices with the onion brings out the flavour of the aromatics. If you like, serve a bowl of steamed rice on the side.

Leek and Potato Soup: A big pot of steaming Leek and Potato Soup makes a great on- pot help-yourself dinner. Make the whole recipe, or better yet double it! It’s even better the next day packed in a thermos for lunches. This is also a great soup for the freezer, just omit the bacon, cheese and parsley at the end and add them in when you are ready to serve.

Beef and Cabbage Soup: Healthy and economical, Beef and Cabbage Soup has long simmered flavour in a fraction of the time. A lemon wedge garnish gives this soup a bright and punchy flavour.

White Bean and Squash Soup: We haven’t left out the vegetarians; White Bean and Squash Soup is a one-pot dinner that is healthy, delicious and warms the soul. Pop Honey Whole Wheat Scones into the oven before you start the soup and they will be ready to eat at the same time.

Herbed Carrots: These carrots are a simple and seasonal side dish for any night of the week. Try the Honey Nut Carrot variations alongside pork tenderloin or lamb chops.
