Imagine coming home to the comforting aroma of Stuffed Pepper Soup, its warmth greeting you as you step through the door. This version, made with wholesome ground turkey and a medley of bell peppers, transforms a classic dish into a convenient, slow-cooked delight. Ideal for those bustling weekdays when you'd love a home-cooked meal but the clock isn't in your favor. This recipe encapsulates the hearty essence of stuffed peppers, without the fuss of actual stuffing! This robust soup pairs wonderfully with a crusty piece of artisan bread for dunking or a simple green salad dressed lightly with vinaigrette. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, serving with a side of hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes allows everyone to adjust the spice to their liking.

This one-pot chicken and lentils recipe takes a well-spiced blend of pantry staples plus a handful of fresh ingredients and simmers them together for a throw-in-the-pot meal that is both comforting and filling. It relies on bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, and the role of the skin is essential: First, it forms a protective shield when seared, preventing the chicken from drying out in the bubbling liquid as it simmers, and helps build flavor as its fat renders. (Thank the skin for its service and discard it before serving.) The finishing touch of lime adds a nearly imperceptible sour flavor, similar to some Persian stews, that rounds out the braising liquid, which is best enjoyed with bread or basmati rice.
