The Absolute Best Lentil Soup

2020 has been a year like no other. And let’s be honest — it’s pretty hard to pinpoint the positives. However, there is one silver lining that’s top of mind: We cooked more than ever before in 2020.

Feeding ourselves from our kitchens day in and day out meant we tackled more recipes than we ever thought possible. Sure, even us Kitchn editors experienced burnout, but we also made meals that fueled and inspired us. You did, too, whether it was a skillet full of crispy-skinned chicken thighs bathed in garlic butter or the perfect bowl of cacio e pepe pasta. Here are the 10 most popular recipes published on Kitchn this year.
