Hearty Vegetable and White Bean Soup | Dietitian Debbie

Simplify. If I had to choose one word as my intention for the new year, simplify would be that one word. It all started after listening to this one episode of The Lively Show podcast where she interviews Dana, author of one of my favorite food blogs – Minimalist Baker. I was so inspired by  how her life changed after deciding to simplify her life and live with less. The episode that had me cleaning out my closet and rethinking my wardrobe was with Caroline of Un-Fancy.  Both of these interviews were on my mind while Will and I spent the last month or two paring down our belongings to fit into our new one bedroom apartment. As 2015 begins, I am feeling a bit lighter.

The concept of simplicity translates into diet as well. I feel one of the best ways to approach a healthy diet is to simplify it. Begin by cleaning out all the junk so that you have room for the wholesome stuff. Simple foods made from whole, unprocessed ingredients are best. This hearty vegetable and white bean soup is a great example of a simple, healthy dish. Lots of vegetables are combined with a few cans of basic pantry staples and you have a hearty dish to warm you up on the coldest of days. Root vegetables and kale provide a healthy dose of vitamins A, E, and K while beans fill you up with protein and fiber. Who says comfort food has to be laden in cheese or cream sauce?

    Can anyone tell me what is: ” 2 quarter vegetable broth”??? Something is missing from this ingredient listing.
    Thanks.

      Hi Sally,
      That should actually say “2 quarts vegetable broth”! I’ve corrected it in the recipe above. Thanks for pointing it out!

    Thanks for the recipe – I totally agree with simplifying things…especially in the kitchen. I like soups because a lot of the ingredients you can chop in advance so it makes for less hectic meal preparation.
