Soup · 35 minWeeknight White Chicken Chili
White beans give this green-chile chicken chili its body. Mash a few against the pot for a creamy broth, then finish with lime for a clean, bright bite.
A little comfort for cooler days
A pot of soup, something bubbling in the oven, and a reason to gather around the table.
Fall cooking does not have to mean a long afternoon in the kitchen. These warming dishes use familiar ingredients and leave room for shortcuts. Pair a bowl of soup with toast, or turn roasted sweet potato salad into tomorrow’s lunch by keeping the greens separate.
Make it easier: Cook a double batch of broth-based soup, but store noodles separately so they keep their bite.
