Chicken Noodle Soup
I have made chicken noodle soup for many sick clients over the years. There is something so cathartic about making soup.It's easy on the stomach and it is just what your body needs. Grandmother’s chicken soup was and is the ultimate cure for colds and new medical research says that chicken soup really does work just like Grandma always said it did.

Rangoon Racquet Club Peanut Soup
There was a time in the 70s and 80s when the cognoscenti in Beverly Hills eschewed the Polo Lounge, Bistro, et al, and headed for the real hot spot, the Rangoon Racquet Club, a restaurant reinventing the last days of the Raj with a Rodeo Drive vibe. Anglo-Indian food topped the bill of fare and the favorite starter was Peanut Soup. A silky smooth chilled soup of creamy chicken broth with creamy coconut and peanuts, this dish was served in a small cup nestled in a bed of crushed ice, with a half a lime on the side to squeeze over it before eating. The acidity of the tart lime cuts through the unctuous richness of the cream, coconut and pureed peanut and creates the perfect medley of flavors.

Green Chile Frito Pie
Frito pie is traditionally chili meat, cheese poured into a snack-sized sack of Frito chips cut open sideways. This recipe is more of a bowl. I had it at the Plaza Café in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was probably one of the best things I eaten in a long time. I have always been a fan of green Hatch chilies. This Green Chili Frito Pie was so good and VERY spicy, just they way I like it!
