Creamy cauliflower soup is quiet weeknight magic: one big cauliflower, an onion, and garlic simmered in stock with a splash of white wine, then blended until velvety. Heavy cream — or sour cream, for tang — goes in at the end, and the whole pot takes 35 minutes. It...
There's something incredibly comforting about a bowl of vibrant, velvety soup, and this Creamy Carrot Soup is pure comfort in a bowl. It harnesses the natural sweetness of carrots, enhanced by a simple sauté of onions and the starchy creaminess of a single potato....
The coolest, creamiest cucumber salad you'll ever make earns the name with one step most recipes skip: salting the cucumbers and letting them drain. What's left is impossibly crunchy under a cool blanket of sour cream, dill, and lemon, with a whisper of...
The ultimate summer corn salad is my most-requested potluck dish, and it earns the title: charred corn, red onion, bell pepper, tomato, avocado, lime, and cilantro in one crunchy-creamy bowl. Thirty minutes, one skillet, and it feeds four as a side. Leftovers, if...
Cream of parsley soup flips the garnish into the main event — two whole bunches of it, simmered with shallots in vegetable stock and blended grassy-green and smooth. A swirl of heavy cream finishes it, and the whole thing takes 30 minutes. It's the...

Cherry tomato salad with soy sauce dressing is the side I make all tomato season long. Halved cherries soak up a sweet-salty mix of soy sauce, dark sesame oil, and sugar while basil — Thai basil if you can find it — keeps everything perfumed and fresh. It's 10...
