Russian Tea

Thanks to our reader for requesting a makeover for this traditional holiday favorite. She explains, "This recipe has been a favorite holiday treat within my family for generations (passed from my grandmother to mother and then to me). A large cup always reminds me of home and the magic of the holiday season. However, I try to buy and eat all things organic now and this tea just doesn't fit the bill. It would be wonderful to be able to enjoy this tea and keep within my organic philosophies." We certainly agree. To update it, we replaced the powdered orange drink mix and sweetened powdered tea with orange juice and black tea. Whole spices and some sugar add just the right warmth and sweetness.

Watermelon Agua Fresca

This light, refreshing drink popularized in Mexico is a terrific thirst quencher on a hot summer day. The trick with making agua fresca (Spanish for "fresh water") is to infuse the water with fruit essence without turning it into a smoothie or slushy drink. Feel free to experiment with other flavors such as strawberry, mango, cantaloupe and honeydew.
Moroccan Mint Tea

Typically, Moroccans combine green tea, mint leaves and a hearty dose of sugar to make this traditional beverage. We made it natural by using agave nectar, instead of sugar, which provides a more delicate, yet equally delicious drink.

Banana Sundaes for breakfast? Well, it might not be exactly what you had in mind, but this power-packed "sundae" comes loaded with nuts and seeds for a filling and very yummy breakfast. Our reader sent us this delicious recipe saying, "I was looking for an energy breakfast that was quick yet gave me lots of good ingredients. I always buy the carob nut energy squares out of the bulk bins, so I began to add this to my banana and it just grew to this sundae. Enjoy!" We found this dish especially tasty with almond milk, as it complements the crunch of the sprinkled cereal quite well. Use your choice of nut butter: peanut, almond or soy nut butters are great.

Serve with a dollop of soy vanilla yogurt topped with fresh sliced strawberries for a scrumptious start to your day.
Kasha Breakfast Porridge

While hot breakfast cereal takes many forms, this version featuring kasha is perfect for kick-starting your day. Kasha, or roasted buckwheat, is the edible fruit seed of a plant related to rhubarb and, despite the name, is not related to wheat at all and is, in fact, gluten-free. With plenty of high quality protein and good amounts of fiber, calcium, iron and B vitamins, kasha gets your day off to a healthy start.

Chicken Gumbo with Fresh Okra

Fresh okra is the seasonal star in this delicious rendition of chicken gumbo with a simple roux, but zucchini can be substituted with success if you prefer. For convenience, this can easily be made in a slow cooker. Add a fresh green salad and crusty, hot whole wheat rolls.
Chicken Soba Noodle Soup

Nourishing and delicious, savory and hearty — our full-bodied classic version of this time-honored soup adds a Japanese flair by featuring buckwheat soba noodles. Add the noodles just before serving to ensure a tender, not soggy, bite.
Cookoff-Winning Veggie Chili

This uniquely rich chili combines warm spices and chocolate — like a Mexican mole sauce with traditional vegetarian chili ingredients. Delicious with fresh corn-studded corn bread and maple butter and a crisp, light green salad. Serve garnished with sour cream and avocado slices, if desired. Veggie chilis cook much quicker than meat based ones. If you want to simmer this for a while, turn to low and add another cup of broth.
Lamb Chili

Enjoy tender lamb slowly simmered along with a variety of chile peppers and spices in this not so common chili version. Interestingly, lamb meat in chili dates back to the 1880's versions cooked by some of the San Antonio Chili Queens.

If you prefer your soup to have a thicker consistency, mash some of the cooked peas against the side of the pot, then stir them back into the broth before adding the collard greens and carrots.

A medley of organic vegetables gives this wholesome stew loads of nutrients and a hearty broth. Chipotle peppers and flavorful Mexican seasonings add spice, while whole green beans and chunks of corn and squash make for a pleasing, colorful presentation.
Colorful Turkey Chili

Thanks to Lianne, a customer at our Oakville, CA store, for this flavorful turkey chili recipe that she updated from an original beef chili from her childhood.

The smoky, spicy almost chocolate-like flavor of this soup comes from chipotle chiles, an ingredient that is very popular in the Southwest. Chipotle chiles, which are smoked jalapeños, can be found dried, pickled or canned in thick adobo sauce. This recipe calls for unsweetened cocoa, which adds a warmth to the complex flavor of this soup. Enjoy it with corn bread to buffer the chiles. From The Whole Foods Market Cookbook

Sweet baked acorn squash halves serve as bowls for this creamy leek soup flavored with rolled oats. Make sure to scoop out small spoonfuls of the squash with each bite of soup.
Hearty Spanish Bean Stew with Chorizo

This hearty bean stew has its roots near the region of Ribera del Duero (the Duero river) which runs through the heart of Castilla. Serve it with a full-bodied red wine, like our Penescal. A hint for the cook: to brown the smoked sausage, simply cook it in a large skillet over medium heat with a bit of olive oil until golden brown all over.
Pork Stew with Chorizo, White Beans and Leeks

Hearty comfort food at its most robust, this rustic meat-lover's stew, sometimes called Fabada, conjures up visions of rural old-European country life. In an updated version of this classic dish, we pair pork chops, bacon and chorizo with leeks and white beans. Great Northern and Navy beans are traditionally used, though Trout or European Soldier beans also work quite well in this deliciously satisfying recipe. Use your choice of canned or cooked dry beans. For a slightly less piquant stew, use fresh chorizo sausage rather than the dry, cured version, which is heavier on the seasonings.
Vegan Hoppin' John

A steaming bowl of this thick soup is said to bring good luck for the coming year, but you don't have to serve it only on your New Year's menu. Tempeh bacon and vegetables add depth of flavor to simple black-eyed peas and rice.

Creole Fish Stew

Combining classic Creole seasonings and a fragrant roux, this streamlined stew delivers the flavors of the famous seafood jambalaya served in New Orleans. Think of it as a standard model, which you can upgrade and embellish as you wish. Substitute any mild, white fish for the cod, such as monkfish, rockfish or halibut. Add clams or crawfish or even a bit of spicy sausage. Or serve as is with crusty bread and a fruity white wine. The rice is cooked right in, making it a complete meal.
Dashi

Dashi, a flavorful broth made with kombu and bonito flakes, is the essence of Japanese cooking. This recipe includes two versions: ichiban dashi, which is used as a base for clear soups, and niban dashi, which is often used to make thicker soups or dishes like Zaru Soba.
Golden Poppy Seed Soup

Mochi, a type of asian rice cake, will dissolve and thicken the soup if cooked too long, so make sure to simmer the soup only briefly after it's been added.
Winter Miso Soup

While unusual for many North Americans, miso soup often serves as a power breakfast in Japan. Miso is a high-protein fermented soy product with a salty flavor that can be very health-promoting. We call for aged, unpasteurized barley miso. Unpasteurized miso contains the beneficial Lactobacillus bacteria and other enzymes, which have been shown to aid in the digestion of food and to help create a healthy digestive system — a different and delicious way to jump start your day.
Autumn Bouillabaisse

This rich bouillabaisse proves that pumpkins aren't just for pies. Sugar Pie and Baby Bear pumpkins are cooking varieties with infinitely more flavor and better texture than carving pumpkins, which are not recommended. Ask a produce team member about the best cooking variety available in your Whole Foods Market. Butternut squash can be substituted for pumpkin if you wish.
Moroccan Spiced Chickpea and Lentil Soup

Split Pea Soup with Jerusalem Artichokes

Jerusalem artichokes, also known as sunchokes, are somewhat like crunchy artichoke hearts. In fact, they belong to the tuber family and resemble small potatoes. Look for them in the produce department in the late fall and winter.

Appetite-fulfilling without lots of calories, butternut squash makes a creamy soup that is comforting to eat. Try making croutons with cinnamon raisin bread for a unique garnish. From The Whole Foods Market Cookbook
Tuscan Lamb and Artichoke Stew

This traditional peasant dish is popular in northern Italy in the spring, where it's a favorite Italian Easter recipe, when lamb is at its most tender. Succulent lamb comes together with artichoke hearts, prosciutto, rosemary and sage for a savory main course. Delectable served over polenta, rice or pasta along with a fresh green salad. If you prefer, use 1 cup chicken broth in place of the wine in this recipe.

Spicy Corn Ragoût

Although this recipe is most delicious in the summer, when fresh corn is at its best, it can be made at other times of the year using thawed frozen corn, too.
Duck Chili

Duck is an excellent choice for chili since its sturdy flavor complements the savory zest of the seasonings. The red wine adds a depth of flavor, but you can replace it with chicken stock if you prefer. Garnish chili with sour cream and serve with a bowl of chips for scooping.
Buffalo Bill Chili

Using buffalo meat in chili reminds us that this is the quintessential food of the American West. For today's cook, buffalo is leaner than beef and provides a robust flavor that stands up well to the spices and chilies in this rustic chili. For variety, mix and match your favorite beans to enhance the appearance, or add another layer of flavor by substituting dark Mexican beer, such as Negra Modelo, for the beef stock.
White Bean Soup

A small handful of chopped herbs (rosemary, thyme and parsley are especially good) stirred into the finished soup will brighten its flavor. Cut the potatoes, carrots and celery into large chunks if you prefer a heartier texture and appearance.
Turkey Pumpkin Chili

Chickpea Salad with Jicama and Carrots
