The "Perfect" Soup I Have to Make Every September (I've Already Made Two Pots This Week!)

Bonus: There's only 5 minutes of prep.

Dear Loves Leftovers: You're not alone in the sentiment that cooking dinner feels like a chore. I develop recipes and cook for a living and I feel the same way more than you might expect. But dinner still has to get on the table, so here's my strategy: I lean on big-batch, low-effort pantry meals that basically cook themselves. As we head into fall, the meal at the top of that list is a comforting curried pumpkin soup (a fun twist on the classic pumpkin soup). I've been making a version of this curried pumpkin soup for over 10 years, and this is by far the best iteration. A few spoonfuls of red Thai curry paste ensures an incredible mix of warm spices and aromatics, rich coconut milk gives the soup extra body, and creamy red lentils really bulk it up and add a boost of protein. It's also freezable and reheats wonderfully to accommodate a staggered dinnertime schedule. Kelli Foster Sincerely, Dinner Therapist GET THE RECIPE Prepping dinner night after night can be so hard.
