Slightly thick and creamy chowder with potatoes, shallots, celery, and torn pieces of smoked salmon then topped with chives and dill make for a taste of the north-west when you can't get there.
The addition of tequila, tomatoes, and cilantro and trading out the potatoes with chickpeas this is a nice Tex-Mex twist on beef stew to warm you up on a cold winters day.
This is our take on maraq cad, the Somali soup known for its finishing touches, which are added at the last moment so they retain bright bold flavor and texture.
