A Tickle in Your Throat Calls for This Soup in Your Bowl
A tickle in your throat calls for this soup in your bowl
By Mia Leimkuhler
We're smack dab in the middle of May, which means it's time to play nobody's favorite game: Is It Allergies or Is It a Head Cold?
If it's the latter, 1) I hope you feel better. And 2) here's Ali Slagle's chickpea noodle soup, which turns some crisper basics and pantry staples — carrot, celery and onion, as well as canned chickpeas, pasta and vegetable broth — into a soothing, there-there soup. You could of course make chicken noodle soup, but I never seem to have chicken on hand when the sniffles strike, and Ali uses a good scoop of nutritional yeast to give her soup that satisfying umami undertone.
This recipe is easy, economical and 'perfect for a quick unplanned meal,' writes Brenda, a reader. Exactly what you need when a cold (or a nasty allergy attack) catches you off guard.

Chicken Milanese: I ordered chicken Milanese in a restaurant the other night, and as I sliced into crispy bite after crispy bite I wondered why I don't make it at home more often. Alexa Weibel's recipe will help me fix that.
Scallops with bread-crumb salsa verde: Are scallops the prettiest seafood? They come in beautiful shells, are the creamy color of pearls, are both sweet and saline and take to butter like nobody's business. Christian Reynoso's deceptively simple recipe is inspired by a dish frequently served at Zuni Café in San Francisco, one of my most favorite restaurants in the whole wide world.
Baasto iyo suugo tuuna (pasta and spiced tuna sauce): I'm always collecting midnight pasta recipes — fast dinners that make use of tinned (or jarred) oily fishes and a handful of other pantry staples. This Ifrah F. Ahmed recipe punches up canned tuna and your go-to marinara with xawaash, a seven-spice mix that includes turmeric, cardamom and cumin.
Crispy coconut rice with tofu: Crispy rice is wonderful. Crispy coconut rice is especially wonderful. A vegetarian stunner from Hetty Lui McKinnon, naturally.
Easy carrot cake with cream cheese frosting: No cake pans? No problem. Genevieve Ko bakes this cake in a half-sheet pan before slicing it into thirds and stacking the layers with frosting. To make that frosting extra tangy, she swaps the usual butter for sour cream. I've never met a Genevieve recipe I didn't love, so I'm really excited for this one.

Philander backs SA to exploit Australia's vulnerable top order
'The Australian batsmen are generally aggressive and come hard at you, which shows you the importance of the new ball, having control with that is important and you don't want to leak early boundaries. 'You don't want to allow them to get into their strides,' Philander told SportsBoom in an exclusive interview. 'Australia have a bit of a defect against the moving ball. Technically and mentally, SA's batsmen perhaps have the upper hand with the general overhead conditions in England and the Duke ball being completely different to the Kookaburra. 'So, the Proteas bowlers will certainly want to exploit that. Marnus Labuschagne has been short of runs, as has Steve Smith to an extent in the previous couple of seasons. 'So, there's a window of opportunity there, their shortfalls will be in the back of the mind. 'Tactically, the ball nips around at Lord's and Australia's top order could be vulnerable, especially since our bowlers can get the ball a touch fuller. 'The likes of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood bowl more back-of-a-length, with the ball going over the top of the stumps; we want to bring the stumps into play more,' Philander said. With Kagiso Rabada now in the clear after his recreational drugs suspension, he will lead a South African attack that Philander, who took 53 wickets in 14 Tests against Australia, at an average of 24.67, says covers all the bases. Philander also took 22 wickets in six Tests in England, at an average of just 23.54. 'As a collective, there are a lot of skill sets covered in that attack. KG hits the surface hard; Marco Jansen brings swing and seam and extra bounce. Dane Paterson has bowled at Lord's a lot playing for Middlesex this season and Lungi Ngidi has skill and control. 'And then there's Wiaan Mulder, who brings balance to the team. 'If batting conditions are really good then you need spin, and though records show the spinners don't do a great deal at Lord's, the control that Keshav Maharaj brings is vital. 'His record speaks for itself and, as a combination, SA's attack has all bases covered.' — SportsBoom

Mnguni urges Sundowns to brace for Club World Cup
After they bottled the Caf Champions League final in Cairo last Sunday, former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Thokozani Mnguni warned the current crop of players of the high-pace nature of football that the European teams employ as focus shifts to the Fifa Club World Cup. With the domestic football competitions out of the way and the off-season under way, the Fifa Club World Cup becomes Mamelodi Sundowns' main priority. Mamelodi Sundowns have been drawn in Group F against steep competition, including German giants Borussia Dortmund, Brazil's Fluminense and South Korean Ulsan HD. With the Pretoria-based team set to travel to the US later this month for the round robin fixtures, Mnguni advised Mamelodi Sundowns that they should prepare for high-intensity clashes as the European teams play at a fast tempo, a feature that Mnguni believes Sundowns are not accustomed to as an African team. Moreover, the 47-year-old said that Mamelodi Sundowns also need not completely change their identity and style of football. 'They must just try to keep their identity and rely on the style of football that has brought them this much success,' Mgnuni told in an exclusive interview. 'Technically, Mamelodi Sundowns will just have to be sharper and more clinical in the final third because the speed of play in Europe is too quick compared to South African football.' Mamelodi Sundowns are coming from a 2-1 defeat in Cairo this past weekend, a result which saw them miss out on being the kings of Africa as the Egyptian side, Pyramids FC, walked away with the trophy. Mnguni highlighted that the reason behind Mamelodi Sundowns' defeat stems from their inability to control the midfield against Pyramids. Mnguni added that Pyramids only had to isolate playmaker Marcelo Allende to completely break down Mamelodi Sundowns. 'Sundowns struggled to control the game in the midfield like they normally do, and that led to numerous turnovers in that second phase. Pyramids did well in making sure Allende doesn't have space and time on the ball like he normally does,' Mnguni said. 'The speed of play from Mamelodi Sundowns before Pyramids scored was slow. Had they started the game with the intensity that they finished with, things could've been completely different. Desperation led them to play lots of crosses in the box.' Here at home in SA, Mamelodi Sundowns continue to be the benchmark for the other teams. The side secured their eighth consecutive league title this season. Mnguni believes that Mamelodi Sundowns will continue to dominate South African football for many years to come for a host of different reasons, including their unmatched professionalism. 'This club will always dominate the Premier Soccer League due to its consistency and the philosophy it maintains. The professionalism from the management, down to the players, gives them the edge over the other teams,' Mnguni told 'Also, their recruitment processes really set them apart. Year in year out, they bolster their squad with quality players.' — SportsBoom
