Soup for two isn’t always as simple as cutting everything in half. When you try to scale recipes down, you run into all kinds of little quirks, like half cans of beans, pasta that soaks up all your broth, or enough leftovers to feed an army when you only wanted dinner for two. In this episode, I share some of my own tips for making smaller-batch soups and recipes that truly work without waste.

Then I’m joined once again by one of my favorite food podcasters, Becky Hadeed, host of The Storied Recipe Podcast. Becky is such a thoughtful interviewer who goes deep into her guests’ food memories and passions. In our conversation, she shares one of her family’s all-time favorite dishes, beef stroganoff. and talks about why it holds a special place in her kitchen.

If you’ve ever struggled to scale recipes down, or if you just love hearing about the dishes that bring families together, this episode has something for you.

🔗 Here's Becky Hadeed's recipe for an easy beef stroganoff without mushrooms, and her podcast, The Storied Recipe Podcast.
