“Creamy, hearty, and full of flavor, it’s an easy chicken soup that’s loaded with corn, beans, peppers, and warm fajita spices. Fresh lime juice and cilantro add a bright finish to every spoonful. The real secret is cream cheese, which makes the broth rich and silky.” —Sara Bir, Simply Recipes Editor

“Onion soup mix, Cajun seasoning, and a whole stick of butter deliver big flavor and major comfort food satisfaction. It’s easily hearty enough to pass for a main dish. Serve some cornbread on the side and call it a day.” —Sara Bir, Simply Recipes Editor

“It may look like a bakery-level showstopper, but it’s surprisingly easy to make at home thanks to shortcut ingredients like cake mix and store-bought caramel, which keep things simple. It may feel impossible, but it’s really just science doing its thing, and I’m always here for a dessert with a little drama.” —Theodora Kaloudis, Content Updates Editor

“My kids will eat pizza in any form, on any day. So when I figured out a heartier pizza recipe that I could make ahead and freeze, it became an instant staple. Now I make a big batch when I have 30 minutes to spare, and tuck them into the freezer. They reheat in just a few minutes, and like that, the hardest part of lunch is done.” —Kris Osborne, Recipe Developer

“Honey cake is quick to get into the oven and calls for mostly pantry staples. It uses just one mixing bowl. It’s laced with dark coffee and studded with walnuts. It stays moist and delicious for days. And, of course, there’s all that syrupy honey. The result is a rich, dense cake with deliciously sticky-chewy edges.” —Jill Silverman Hough, Recipe Developer

“I’ll admit I was skeptical as I mixed the simple batter, but when I felt the knife slice into the crackled crust and moist center, I knew this recipe was special. It’s magical—you only need eggs, ground walnuts, and sugar to make this delicate and delicious cake. It not only works with walnuts but almonds and hazelnuts, too—I’ve tested them.” —Devan Grimsrud, Recipe Developer

“Canned cheddar soup is a great shortcut for recreating that foolproof cheese sauce at home. Add a little paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper, and suddenly it tastes way more homemade than it has any right to.” —Julia Levy, Recipe Developer

“Instead of reaching into the back of my pantry for an emergency box of mac and cheese, I grabbed a big tub of ricotta that I needed to use up from my fridge. What resulted was a super quick, shockingly easy, and unbelievably good creamy pasta.” —Rebecca Fennel, Recipe Developer
