Author Notes

Comforting without the comfort food calories and residual waistline woes, this protein- and fiber-rich curry boasts chickpeas and red lentils, providing a belly-filling meal while leaving you light and bright in the midst of swimsuit season. Taking advantage of a free Sunday evening, I prepare my one-pot vegan squash curry, allowing it to simmer to perfection while I buzz about, and keep it handy in my refrigerator (or freezer for easy defrosting) as I need it. Best served hot or cold.

Test Kitchen Notes

WHO: Alexandra Dawson is a Washington, D.C.-based student studying to be a nutritionist.


WHAT: A creamy vegan curry that hits the spot even in hot weather.


HOW: Sauté curry paste with garlic and onions, then add coconut milk, tomatoes, kale, chickpeas, and lots of summer squash. Dinner’s only 30 minutes away!


WHY WE LOVE IT: When we want something that will stick to our bones, something creamy and hefty but not heavy, we’ll turn to this soup: It’s creamy from the coconut milk and lentils, and satisfying thanks to all of the vegetables, chickpeas, and ribbons of kale. And it comes together so quickly, we’ll be making it as long as summer squash is in season (and then figuring out ways to adapt it to winter squash!) —The Editors
