Carrot soup is one of those dishes that uses basic ingredients and becomes a source of comfort during the winter months. Carrots are a member of the parsley family, which also includes caraway, coriander, celery, parsnip, and dill. The herbs perk up the overall carrot flavor.

There’s nothing like the festive spread of beloved holiday meals to heighten the season’s celebratory gatherings. If you’re looking to enhance this year’s menu, try increasing the amount of plant-based foods. Adding plant foods, like vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils and whole grains, is a great way to make a meal healthier.

If there’ s one thing that my colleagues and I here at Kitchn know, it’ s that our readers absolutely love themselves some potatoes— baked, boiled, mashed, skillet-fried, you name it. As a result, we’ ve amassed hundreds of recipes involving potatoes in some shape or form over the years. But is anyone really surprised?

Sometimes all you really want is a heap of simple, crispy roasted potatoes. No muss, no fuss! That’s what this recipe is all about. These roasted potatoes will simply play a supporting role, so that your standing rib roast or honey garlic pork chops can really steal the show.

These garlic mashed potatoes are extra creamy, thanks to the addition of both butter and buttermilk. To prevent the potatoes from getting gummy, be sure not to overmix them in Step 2. Mashed vegetables tend to get cold easily; keep all tools — the ricer and bowl — warm by running under hot water before using.

One sip of this soup is like getting wrapped in your warmest, coziest sweater. Between the thick chunks of vegetables, tender cubes of potato, juicy shreds of chicken (take your pick of boneless breasts or thighs), and thick, creamy broth, it truly doesn’t get more comforting than chicken potato soup.

As the temps begin to dip, this is a family-friendly soup to keep on repeat all through fall and winter.

Mashed potatoes are one of the best comfort foods. They’re also a blank canvas when you feel like changing it up a bit, and one of the easiest additions is some sour cream.

The best way to enjoy a baked potato is with a spread of custom toppings (aka a baked potato bar). It’s the ultimate meal. Whether you cobble together leftovers in the fridge for a Tuesday dinner or prepare an over-the-top spread for a crowd, there are few people a baked potato bar wouldn’t delight.

Sweet potatoes, once relegated to holiday meals, now feature weekly on casual supper menus. From baked to mashed to fries, this potato graces our dinner table at least once a week. Purple-fleshed varieties, such as Stokes, Molokai and Okinawan, have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
