Comfort food comes in all shapes and sizes, but one of my favorites is a good ole bowl of soup. And the best kinds are the ones where you can throw in everything and go on with your day while the ingredients do all the work. Plus, there are so many to choose from, including seasonal recipes like curried pumpkin and butternut squash.

Ruby Tuesday's white chicken chili checks all the boxes and then some. The hearty soup is packed with protein, veggies, and a hodgepodge of herbs and spices. While the chili does take a bit on the longer side to cook (a total of three hours), it's worth every spoonful. Although, do be warned: this isn't a recipe you can spring on last minute. Because the beans need to soak overnight, it will require some planning.
