Kale Minestrone With Pistou
You can make a stellar minestrone using ingredients you probably already have on hand. It's kind of amazing what a rind of Parmesan, a pinch of kosher salt, and some tomato paste will do to build flavor.

If fresh clams are not available in your area, this recipe still works well with two 10-ounce cans of clams and 6 cups of clam juice.

Colombian Chicken, Corn, and Potato Stew
Potatoes help out this Colombian chicken stew in two ways: grated Russet potatoes absorb some of the chicken's flavor as it simmers, while diced yellow potatoes provide texture.

Oxtail Bourguinonne
As the oxtail bourginone cooks, it's dispersing flavor throughout the stockpot, and potatoes are happy to soak some of that up.

Zucchini and Saffron Vichyssoise with Scallops

Clam and Cod Chowder
The best way to make clam chowder weeknight friendly: use bottled clam juice. If you're making the soup over the weekend and using fresh clams, bring the clams to a boil in water. Once cooked, strain and reserve the cooking water—that's your DIY clam juice.
