This Lemony Tuscan Soup Is So Delicious, It Belongs in Your Weekly Dinner Rotation

Plus, four more recipes for the week ahead.

5 Easy Weeknight Dinners for the First Days of Spring We made it, y'all! We're busting out of the cozy season of pot roasts, chili, and stews — now I'm anxiously awaiting asparagus and rhubarb to arrive at my farmers' market. But I'm not saying bye to soup just yet: This Lemony Tuscan White Bean Soup is perfect for shoulder season: it'll warm you up without feeling heavy, and is loaded with kale and carrots. We'll likely have soup leftovers the next night, along with this brilliantly easy ravioli recipe from Ali Slagle. You take a jar of marinated artichokes (don't sleep on these — they are the perfect no-prep ingredient for easy dinners) and toss them with ravioli, brine from the jar, lemon zest, Parmesan, and toasted panko. Salmon is up next, this week in Jan's creamy dill sauce, which gets serious depth from lemon, garlic, and shallot — readers absolutely love it! Ever since I saw a photo of Christine's Japanese Beef Curry, made easier with ground beef, it's been haunting me, so I'm finally making it this week. I cannot wait to transport myself somewhere warmer with Rachel's Coconut Lime Glazed Chicken. The sauce of coconut milk, honey, lime, and grated garlic and ginger sounds so delicious, I know even my 3-year-old will get behind it. P.S. I'll be sipping our Amalfi Cocktail this weekend to ring in spring. Check it out in our new digital issue, Spring Gatherings, and unlock our best recipes for the season.

I aim for recipes that rely on familiar ingredients I already have in my pantry and drawers, and don't require too much hands-on cooking time. (Fortunately, you'll find a lot of these on The Kitchn!) Novelty is important. Cooking dinner night after night can be relentless — I gotta feel excited by what's on my plate, whether it's a new flavor, ingredient combination, or simple technique to save some time.  I eat pretty much everything. I change up my proteins throughout the week with chicken, seafood, beef, and pork making frequent appearances. And there's always room for pasta! That said, I'm not in my spicy era. I have two little boys — 3 and a half years old and 10 months — so my picks will mostly be recipes that shy away from too much heat.
