If you've always thought you needed hours to make a luxuriously silky puréed vegetable soup, well, this recipe is here to say you don't! 

This is a labor of love that will make other people love you, which is reason enough to give this recipe a try.

The quickest, most fuss-free and delicious meatball recipe that ever was or will be.

The yogurt tenderizes the chicken as it sits, so the further in advance you make it, the better!

Like the one you make with the packet of soup mix, but with no weird chemicals and 1,000 percent tastier.

Garlicky toast smoothed with harissa yogurt and topped with chickpeas = the perfect vegetarian tartine.

If you're not the kind of person who keeps canned fish in your pantry at all times, this is the recipe that will convert you.

This vegetarian dinner features a spicy soy-honey glaze that caramelizes on the chickpea-mushroom balls as they cook.

Eating your veggies is a lot easier when there's cheese and fried bread involved.

Like deviled eggs—but faster, easier, more delicious, and fancier-sounding.

This back-pocket broth is hardly even a recipe, but it's the most soothing soup we can imagine for sick days, cold nights, and any other time you need a little extra comfort. 

These pretzel nubbins are crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.

An easy, cheesy dip you can serve this with pretzels, your favorite kind of crackers, or a platter of crudités.

This stuff is crazy good.

An appetizer you can have it ready within 10 minutes of walking in the door.

The most flavorful, hearty, and warming meal you've ever made with (almost) exclusively pantry staples.

Our version of this dip (called borani esfanaaj in Iran) uses spinach, but it can be made with cooked beets or roasted eggplant, too.

The Topanga Living Cafe in Topanga, CA, inspired this gluten-free quiche that uses caramelized sweet potato instead of dough.

Store-bought puff pastry + shredded cheese = the easiest, flakiest, most irresistible dinner party snack of all time.

The chile butter is just that—mixing Calabrian chiles with butter—for this ridiculously easy appetizer.
