How To Cook Spaghetti and Chicken Meatball Soup

Spaghetti and Chicken Meatball Soup Yield: 4 servings Time: 30 minutes Tomato soup meets spaghetti and meatballs in this one-pot, 30-minute crowd-pleaser. To keep chicken meatballs juicy and light, skip the bread crumbs (which can create dense or bland meatballs) and the browning (which can cause precious juices to evaporate). Instead, plop them into the simmering soup to cook through. Any juices they do release will be captured in the tomato soup, which is creamy from olive oil and Parmesan. Feel free to adapt this recipe to suit your preferences: Add chopped onion, crushed fennel seeds, dried oregano or chopped parsley or basil to the meat or the sauce. The pasta will absorb the soup as it sits, so it’s a dish best eaten right when it’s made INGREDIENTS     1   pound ground chicken or turkey 1   cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving 8   garlic cloves, coarsely chopped 1   large egg   Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) ¼   cup extra-virgin...

How to Survive and Thrive in Nigeria’s Heat Waves

Nigeria is no stranger to heat waves, especially during the dry season. But did you know that these periods of extreme heat can affect not only your health, but also your economy and infrastructure? When the temperature rises above 40°C, it can be hard to keep cool and hydrated. This can cause serious health problems, such as dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. These can be life-threatening, especially for children, the elderly, and those with chronic diseases. Heat waves can also damage your infrastructure, such as power grids, roads, and buildings. When everyone uses more air conditioning and cooling systems, the power demand goes up. This can lead to blackouts and brownouts, which can disrupt your businesses and services. It can also increase your costs, as you have to pay more for electricity and maintenance. So how can you cope with heat waves and reduce their impact? Here are some tips: Stay indoors during the hottest hours of the day, usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m...
