Smoky Balkan White Bean Soup
Smoky Balkan White Bean Soup is inspired by the bean and smoked meat soups popular in the Balkans with a nod to Hungarian goulash soup too. Here we use white beans, bacon, smoked pork chops and smoked sausage combined with a heady mix of seasonings to yield a hearty, smoky, meaty soup which is a meal all by itself. Enjoy our Smoky Balkan White Bean Soup for lunch or with a Greek Cucumber Tomato Salad and good bread for dinner.
Prep Time: 30 minutes, Total Time: 3 hours plus overnight soaking time for the beans. Serves 4 to 6.

Red Soup
Red Soup is a family recipe; my Mom faithfully made her version of it every Monday for dinner, except when we were on vacation, for over 65 years. Imagine that! I’ve enhanced my Mom’s very basic recipe and updated it for today’s home cook. Red Soup is delicious and nourishing on its own or with the addition of soup pasta such as orzo, tubettini, acini de pepe or even every kid’s favorite, alphabet letters. Mom was fond of starting a dinner of Red Soup with an appetizer of Breaded Cauliflower. This recipe makes a large amount of Red Soup, enough to enjoy for dinner and pack-up portions for future lunches and dinners too.
Prep Time: 1 hour 30 minutes, Total Time: 3 hours, 30 minutes. Serves: 10 – 16.
