Make the Big Pot of Soup. Find recipes you like, double them, and freeze what you can't eat in a few days. Soups with legumes and vegetables are great for your health. Include some really good whole grain bread, and you've got a meal. Current favorites are
- The Fall minestrone from Alice Waters's The Art of Simple Food [1], which has cannellini, butternut squash, dino kale, tomatoes, and sage (I make a quick leek stock with finely chopped leek tops and trimmings while cooking the rest and use it in place of the water, which adds a lot of depth to the flavor).
- The lentil spinach soup in The Greens Cookbook [2]. I often use Swiss chard or beet greens in place of the spinach; they're all good. You brighten the flavors at the end with some balsamic vinegar (if you've got a Costco, the Kirkland Signature organic balsamic is great). Very quick to make!
