Lemon Marry Me Chicken

The original Marry Me Chicken gets a lemon treatment — zest and juice cut through the cream sauce and make the whole thing taste lighter than it has any right to. Sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, garlic, a splash of white wine, fresh thyme. One skillet, one sauce, chicken thighs that stay juicy because they finish in the oven. Serve it over pasta, rice, or just with bread to drag through the sauce.

Stracciatella alla Romana (Roman Egg Drop Soup)

Stracciatella alla Romana (Roman Egg Drop Soup)

Stracciatella alla romana is a Roman egg drop soup: hot chicken or meat broth into which a mixture of beaten eggs and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano is streamed, forming delicate little 'rags' of egg. It is the Italian version of egg drop soup, but unlike the Chinese one, which is often thickened with cornstarch, the Italian stays clear and brothy — the richness comes from the egg and cheese themselves. The name comes from straccetti or stracce, meaning 'little rags,' an apt description of how the beaten egg looks when it hits the simmering broth and breaks into tiny clouds. It is a first course (primo) of the Roman tradition and of central Italy more broadly, especially Marche and Abruzzo. Despite humble peasant origins, today stracciatella often opens holiday banquets at Easter and Christmas, and it is the classic comfort food many Italians remember their grandmother making at the first sign of a cold. The single technical key is heat: the broth must be at a gentle simmer, never a rolling boil, or the egg scrambles into clumps instead of forming silky rags. Stream the egg-and-cheese mixture slowly into the swirling broth, stirring in one direction. Authentic alla romana contains zero semolina — that is a northern variation that turns the delicate rags into porridge. Salt goes in at the very end because Parmigiano already brings its own. Four ingredients, ready in about 15 minutes, served immediately with olive oil, pepper, and parsley.

Vichyssoise (Cold Leek and Potato Cream Soup)

Vichyssoise is a cold, velvety cream soup of leeks, potatoes, and cream, served ice-cold and garnished with chopped chives. It is essentially a chilled, cream-enriched version of the French classic potage parmentier (leek and potato soup). The paradox of its origin: despite the French name and French roots, the cold version was created in America. Vichyssoise was invented in 1917 by French chef Louis Diat for the guests of the Ritz-Carlton in New York. Diat drew on the leek and potato soup his mother and grandmother had made near the town of Vichy, a spa town in central France; as a boy he and his brother would cool the hot soup with cold milk. Building a summer menu, he recreated that memory, enriched it with cream, served it ice-cold, and named it creme vichyssoise glacee. It became his most famous dish, mentioned even in his 1957 New York Times obituary, and was Julia Child's favorite soup. Two things define quality: a pale, ivory color and a silky texture. The leeks are sweated, never browned, so the soup stays cream-white; only the white and pale-green parts are used; starchy potatoes give creaminess without any flour; and the soup is puréed until silky, classically passed through a fine sieve. Because cold dulls the palate, vichyssoise must be seasoned boldly. Serve it well chilled after at least four hours in the fridge, with chives on top. About 45 minutes of active work, then chilling.
