Beef and Vegetable Soup

Cheap, tough beef cuts braised low and slow in broth with root vegetables until the meat is tender enough to break with a spoon. The collagen from those cuts dissolves into the broth over time and makes it thick and glossy. Expensive steaks make thin, bland soup.

Soupe au Pistou (Provencal Summer Vegetable Soup with Basil Pistou) with basil, cannellini beans and zucchini — France recipe

Soups

Soupe au Pistou (Provencal Summer Vegetable Soup with Basil Pistou)

Soupe au pistou is a Provencal summer vegetable soup with beans, crowned with a spoonful of pistou — the Provencal paste of basil, garlic, olive oil, and cheese. The dish comes from Provence in southeastern France, especially around Nice and the Cote d'Azur, and it is the essence of summer Mediterranean cooking: made at the peak of the season from the best vegetables at the market. Pistou is the Provencal cousin of Italian pesto; its name comes from the word for 'to pound,' just like pesto. The key difference: classic Provencal pistou traditionally contains no pine nuts — that is what sets it apart from Ligurian pesto. The soup is a close relative of Italian minestrone, since Provence borders Liguria, but the French version is finished with a big dollop of fragrant pistou that each guest swirls into their own bowl. That fresh pistou, added at the end, is what separates this from an ordinary vegetable broth. Technical keys: use only summer vegetables; mash half the beans for body without flour; never cook the pistou (heat kills the basil aroma and turns it bitter); keep the garlic in the pistou raw; and use fragrant, room-temperature basil. The classic version (per David Lebovitz) uses only water, so the vegetables shine, though vegetable broth is common. Serves 8 in about an hour, the pistou stirred in at the table, with crusty bread and a glass of Provencal rose.

Green Bean Casserole from Scratch

Fresh green beans keep a gentle snap under a savory mushroom cream sauce, while crisp onions provide the salty crunch people expect from this American holiday casserole. The sauce is made in the pan rather than poured from a can, but the dish still tastes familiar. Most of the work can be done a day ahead, which matters when the oven is busy.
