EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Published on December 28, 2022 Close These comforting dinner recipes will warm you up on cold nights. Only taking 10 minutes or less to prepare, these dishes are perfect for when you need something equally delicious and easy to make. Recipes like our 10-Minute Tuna Melt and Hearty Tomato Soup with Beans & Greens are cozy and tasty dinners for winter. 01 of 11 10-Minute Tuna Melt View Recipe Save Joy Howard This variation of a classic sandwich uses mayonnaise, but not where you think! Mayo is brushed on the outside of the sandwich in place of butter to make the sandwich golden and crispy as it heats in a skillet. Plain Greek yogurt takes mayo's place in the salad—along with crunchy celery, roasted red bell peppers and scallions—for a satisfying lunch with less saturated fat. 02 of 11 Hearty Tomato Soup with Beans & Greens View Recipe Save Garlicky kale and creamy white beans elevate simple canned tomato soup into a 10-minute lunch or dinner that really satisfies. Use a soup with tomato pieces for a heartier texture. Look for a brand that's low- or reduced-sodium, with no more than 450 mg sodium per serving. 03 of 11 Lemon Chicken Pasta View Recipe Save In this easy lemon chicken pasta recipe, we love the combination of lemon zest and toasted breadcrumbs. This healthy dinner is made with rotisserie chicken, quick-cooking spiralized zucchini and baby zucchini, so you get a complete meal in just 10 minutes. 04 of 11 Falafel Tabbouleh Bowls with Tzatziki View Recipe Save Meal-prepping a week's worth of lunches doesn't need to take hours in the kitchen. These Greek-inspired meal-prep bowls can be prepared in just 10 minutes and only require 4 ingredients--greens, falafel, tabbouleh and tzatziki. We love going to our local specialty grocery store for fast shortcut ingredients like these. The high-fiber falafel and tabbouleh will help to keep you feeling satisfied all afternoon. 05 of 11 Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup with Soft-Boiled Eggs View Recipe Save Transform canned chicken noodle soup by adding fresh ginger, crunchy vegetables, herbs and a jammy soft-boiled egg. Look for a low-sodium soup that has 450 mg sodium or less per serving. 06 of 11 Cauliflower Gnocchi with Asparagus & Pesto View Recipe Save Carolyn Hodges, M.S., RD While the cauliflower gnocchi crisp up in a sauté pan, steam fresh asparagus in the microwave to keep it bright green and crisp-tender. Substitute frozen asparagus (or green beans or peas) in a pinch. Toss them together with prepared basil pesto for a satisfying supper. 07 of 11 BBQ Chicken Tacos with Red Cabbage Slaw View Recipe Save This zippy, creamy slaw is so good you might find yourself making it for other sandwiches. Still, it pairs beautifully with the tangy pulled chicken for an incredibly quick dinner you can make even on your busiest nights. To save even more time, use a preshredded coleslaw blend. 08 of 11 Sesame Instant Ramen Noodles with Broccoli & Soft-Boiled Egg View Recipe Save Jazz up basic ramen noodles with toasted sesame oil, quick-cooked broccoli and a jammy soft-boiled egg. To cut back on sodium, look for ramen varieties with less than 600 mg sodium per serving or use less of the seasoning packet. 09 of 11 Spinach & Egg Scramble with Raspberries View Recipe Save Jen Causey This quick egg scramble with hearty bread is one of the best breakfasts for weight loss. It combines protein-packed eggs and superfood raspberries with filling whole-grain toast and nutrient-rich spinach. The protein and fiber help fill you up and keep you going through the morning. 10 of 11 Buffalo Chicken Grain Bowl View Recipe Save Get the flavors of spicy Buffalo chicken wings, without frying, in this nutritious couscous bowl loaded with protein and crisp veggies. 11 of 11 Loaded Black Bean Nacho Soup View Recipe Save Jazz up a can of black bean soup with your favorite nacho toppings, such as cheese, avocado and fresh tomatoes.
