6 Gluten-Free Weeknight Meals That Will Make Your Life Easier
It’s easy to get stuck in a dinner rut, and even easier if some ingredients are off-limits. But with weeknights busier than ever right now, you’re going to need all the ideas you can get. That’s why we’ve come up with these six recipes, all of which are easy, crowd-pleasing and kid-friendly on top of being gluten free. From hands-off fajitas to a sweet new spin on Italian bean soup, here are half a dozen gluten-free supper ideas that are sure to make weeknights easier.
 Turkey and White Bean Chili
This creamy turkey and bean chili is loaded with flavor and nutritious ingredients without the added fat. |
 Turkey Cutlets with Fresh Corn and Tomatoes
This dish is super-efficient, since the fresh corn and tomatoes double as both sauce and vegetable, plus they cook in the same frying pan used to cook the turkey. |
 Panfried Halibut with Tomatoes and Basil
Fish fillets are an ideal choice for an easy weeknight meal, since most can be panfried in less than 10 minutes. Mild halibut’s the perfect fish to pair with the vibrant flavors of tomato and basil. |
 Sheet Pan Fajitas
For this low-maintenance dinner, the steak, bell peppers and onions are all cooked in a single baking sheet, making prep and cleanup a breeze. Serve the fajitas with corn tortillas rather than flour tortillas to keep things gluten-free. |
 Honey-Ginger Pork with Braised Kale
This simple pork braise is easy to assemble, and hands off once it’s in a slow cooker. Swap the soy sauce for a gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos and the noodles for rice to make it gluten-free. |
 Zuppa di Fagioli
This variation on the Italian bean soup, zuppa di fagioli, adds chipotle chile powder for a pop of heat and crimson color, then tops each serving with a gremolata made from Meyer lemon, fennel and parsley for a pop of flavor. Hearty and restorative, this soup is perfect for a fall day. |

No one loves a good soup or stew more than I do. That said, some soups get much more love than others when I post them here. Seeing as we’re deep in the heart of soup season, I thought I’d wrangle a list of the most popular soup recipes on 101 Cookbooks from last year, 2018. If none of those seem quite right, here’s where you can poke around this archive of past soup recipes.
1. Best Simple Cauliflower Soup – If you are looking for a go-to simple soup with a short ingredient list. Boost it with a favorite yellow curry paste for a variation.
2. Spicy Instant Pot Taco Soup – A family fave. This taco soup is a hearty melding of beans, and corn, and taco spices, and quinoa. A great main to build a weeknight meal around.
3. Coconut Red Lentil Soup – A long-running favorite here. You’re looking at a special lentil soup, an Ayurvedic dal recipe from the Esalen Cookbook years ago. Red lentil based, curry-spiced coconut broth with back notes of ginger and tomato, with slivered green onions, and curry-plumped raisins.
4. White Bean Soup with Pesto Herb Dumplings – Everyone loves dumplings. This is a hearty white bean soup topped with pillowy dollops of herb-packed pesto dumplings. Simple to make either vegan or vegetarian.
5. Curried Tomato Tortellini Soup – Another family friendly fave – a lentil and tomato-based stew, dotted with plump, tender dumplings, spiked with a range of spices, and boosted with plenty of spinach. Perfect one-bowl meal.
5. Vegetarian Split Pea Soup – Perfect for a busy weeknight, this delicious, simple vegetarian split pea soup is made from the shortest list of ingredients.
7. Instant Pot Minestrone Soup – This was popular with Instant Pot enthusiasts. A fairly classic minestrone, made with dried beans, not canned.
8. A Simple Carrot Soup – Another simple blender soup makes the list. The base of this carrot soup is spiked with dollop of red curry paste, and then pureed into silky oblivion.
9. Ten Ingredient Alkalizing Green Soup – The quintessential wellness soup. A unique mix of spinach, herbs, garlic, with silky coconut cream, and some green split peas for staying power delivers a potent, alkalizing green soup.
10. CAP Beauty No Bone Broth – This mineral-rich alternative to animal bone broth was super popular.
11. The Creamiest Vegan Soup (Cauliflower) – This soup is different than most “creamy” vegan soups I come across. It uses a clever trick to achieve its texture.
12. Vegetarian Tortilla Soup – Put in the effort to prep the baked tortilla matchsticks, which act as a perfect contrast to the full-bodied, spicy brothy vegetarian soup.
