Easy hot lunch: quick, warm and still nourishing

At lunchtime you often only have a moment. You don't want yet another cold sandwich, but there's no time to cook either. Good news: a hot lunch doesn't have to be a project. With the right basics, something warm and nourishing is ready for you in a few minutes.

We love food that is fresh and simple, so here we share the easiest ways to have a hot lunch without the hassle.

A hot lunch in ten minutes

A quick hot lunch starts with choosing smart. These options are ready in no time:

• Heat up soup. A bowl of Turkish soup may well be the quickest hot lunch there is.
• Yesterday's leftovers. Last night's dinner is today's lunch, hot again in two minutes.
• A ready-made meal. Out of the fridge, into the microwave, done.
