Soups

Chicken noodle soup

This version gets a fuller, rounder pot in about an hour by simmering bone-in chicken thighs in store-bought broth, so the bones and skin add body while the meat cooks. It teaches you to sweat vegetables, keep a simmer gentle, skim, and save the seasoning for the end.

Salads

Cobb salad

A Cobb is a chopped salad laid out in rows, so every forkful can be a little different. It's a good way to practice several small jobs, each done well, that come together on one platter: chicken poached gently enough to stay juicy cold, bacon rendered crisp, eggs cooked just firm, and a vinaigrette you taste and set yourself.

Soups

Tortilla soup

This soup is a deep red broth made from toasted dried chiles and charred tomatoes. You add poached chicken to the pot and crisp fried tortilla strips at the table. It also teaches two Mexican kitchen techniques that give any broth more depth: toasting dried chiles and frying the blended sauce.
