Quick chili with slow-cooked taste
When the weather condition gets listed below a particular temperature level, soup becomes my whole character. Gingery chicken noodle, velvety wild rice soup, and hearty chilis all seem like a warm hug on cold days. Test kitchen area editor Kendra Vaculin’s White Chicken Chili falls under that last classification, and I’ve made it a minimum of 6 times because the dish was released in 2015. This time I double-batched it and included an additional can of beans to bulk it up. I like how this dish utilizes kitchen active ingredients like canned green chiles to construct vibrant taste. It tastes like it’s been simmering for hours, when in truth it just takes 40 minutes. A scatter of corn chips (Fritos, please) are nonnegotiable. — Urmila Ramakrishnan, associate director of social networks
Gently mash a few of the white beans for a velvety, silky texture with no included dairy.

Frozen blueberry scones
Americans have a complex relationship with scones, however residing in Scotland for a couple of months taught me to like them. In Edinburgh they were extra-large, craggy, and never ever dry– which is what I chase whenever I attempt a brand-new dish. That stated, after making Rebecca Firkser’s Blueberry Scones, I might never ever attempt another formula once again. They were crisp-edged, with a layered and buttery crumb and simply sweet enough. Rebecca requires fresh blueberries; I switched in frozen blueberries and raspberries since that’s what I had. No requirement to thaw– the cooled fruit keeps the grated butter (a genius technique) good and cold. With a strong cup of coffee, this was a wonderful breakfast. And fortunate for me, there were additionals for an afternoon treat with tea. — Emma Laperruque, associate director of cooking
A vegetarian showstopper
The project: Make a gaudy meal for a vacation event with good friends. The outcome: this showstopping Carrot Wellington. I roasted ripely sweet carrots up until fork-tender and blitzed half of them with jammy shallots, walnuts, and cheese. The other half were kept entire and doused in honey and curry powder. I slathered the filling onto a rectangular shape of puff pastry and positioned the entire carrots in a zigzag pattern on top. Thoroughly steering the dough, I rolled it up over the carrots, then positioned the log in the oven. Once it was golden, I moved the Wellington onto a bed of curly kale and served it along with parsley yogurt dip. Naturally, oohs and ahhs started.–Nina Moskowitz, associate editor of cooking
