Food: M. Eileen Brown turns to a hearty winter soup from Giada De Laurentiis to keep a check on holiday calories. GDeLaurentiis
It's a land mine of get-togethers, restaurant meals and outings that add up to a January of regret. I suppose it could be avoided with a little bit of dietary strategy and a lot of discipline.The only thing I can control is what I eat on those nights when I am home writing my cards, wrapping my gifts and trying not to panic over all that I can't get done.
A favorite in my house is Giada's"House" Soup, courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis. With white beans, farro, kale and Polish sausage, this soup is hearty, comforting and chock-full of nutrients. I generally make a batch with the sausage and one without to satisfy both"factions" of the household. If you haven't tried farro in a while , the nutty flavor and chewy texture are a nice change of pace to rice, potatoes or pasta in a soup.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service Honestly, this soup is enough to be a meal all on its own, but add some hearty rye bread and a simple salad to the menu, and you've got a very satisfying dinner on the table -- with absolutely no regrets.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the leek, chopped carrot and fennel and season with ½ teaspoon salt and the pepper flakes. Saute slowly until the vegetables are very soft but not browned.
