This pumpkin soup recipe is smooth, creamy, and full of rich flavor from pumpkin, coconut milk, and warming curry spices. I love to make it with fresh roasted pumpkin in the fall, which gives it an intensely sweet flavor and almost velvety texture. But when I don’t have time to roast a squash from scratch, I make this pumpkin soup with canned pumpkin instead. It works beautifully too, and the soup comes together about twice as fast. On a fall weeknight, I can’t argue with that. 🙂 Pumpkin Soup Ingredients Most of the ingredients in this pumpkin soup recipe are pantry […]

This corn chowder recipe is the perfect meal for a cool summer or early fall night. It’s creamy and comforting, but still packed with veggies. You’ll find tender potatoes, peppers, and—of course—summer sweet corn in this flavorful soup. I’m obviously biased, but I think this recipe makes the best corn chowder I’ve tried. The secret is using fresh corn on the cob two ways. I add the kernels to the soup for sweetness and crunch, and I also make a quick corn broth with the cobs. It fills this recipe with rich, sweet corn flavor that I balance with savory seasonings like […]

These easy weeknight dinners are some of my go-to recipes for busy nights. They range from pastas to soups to stir fries and sheet pan meals, but they all have a few things in common. They call for simple ingredients, they come together quickly (or are hands-off to prepare), and they’re packed with flavor. I don’t always feel like cooking at the end of a long day, but I do want a delicious dinner. If you’re looking for weeknight dinner ideas to refresh your rotation, check out the recipes below. I’ve made these meals for my family time and time again. […]

This asparagus soup is practically spring in a bowl! A vibrant blend of asparagus, peas, herbs, and leeks, it’s light, nourishing, and full of fresh spring flavor. If you’re craving a classic cream of asparagus soup, you can add a splash of heavy cream, but this simple recipe is also delicious without it. I love this soup as a spring dinner with some crusty bread or focaccia on the side. It comes together in under 45 minutes (and most of the cook time is hands-off), so it’s totally weeknight-possible. This asparagus soup recipe is an updated version of one I […]

This chickpea soup recipe is my idea of the perfect weeknight dinner. Canned chickpeas, the starting point of so many of my favorite dinners, are the star ingredient here. Some stay whole for texture, while the rest blend with tahini to make the soup lightly creamy. Spinach, dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice brighten the whole thing up. This chickpea soup comes together in 30 minutes, calls for basic pantry ingredients, and is still somehow comforting, satisfying, and fresh. I first shared it in Simple Feel Good Food, and it’s since become one of the most-made recipes in the book—by me […]

I love that it’s cozy enough to feel warming and satisfying on a cold day, but that it’s still healthy and fresh.

This vegetable soup recipe is nourishing, warming, and flavorful. It’s a perfect cozy meal for cold nights, days when you’re craving a healthy reset, or any time you’re feeling under the weather. I first started making it years ago, when I was bouncing back from a cold and had a ton of random veggies in the fridge. Using the ingredients I had in my pantry—vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, dried herbs, and vinegar—I transformed this jumble of vegetables into an amazing soup! Since then, I’ve made this recipe again and again, each time with a different mix of veggies. I add […]

This vegan pho recipe is a delicious plant-based spin on the classic Vietnamese noodle soup. It’s an updated version of a recipe I first shared in 2016, inspired by the vegetarian pho from a Vietnamese restaurant near our house. The richly spiced broth is full of shiitake mushrooms, bok choy, and tons of slurp-able noodles. Topped off with fragrant herbs and a squeeze of lime juice, it’s vibrant, bright, and comforting all at once. It’s a perfect recipe to make when you’re craving something cozy, yet fresh (which for me is just about every day in winter). Heads up that […]
