This soup is the essence of winter. The leeks and potatoes from my Full Circle Farms deliveries had been accumulating in my fridge and pantry. This soup is an amazing use of these simple ingredients. I make this soup for dinner and take/send the leftovers to be reheated in the office microwave the next day. I like to serve this with homemade croutons (in this case I made pumpernickel croutons) and a bright salad (anything with apples or beets would be perfect).
The holidays and winter months are full of rich dishes, so I try to work in some ultra-healthy meals to help mitigate the deluge of potatoes and dairy.
This dish, which I lovingly refer to as a “hippie bowl”, is an ultra low calorie and high fiber antidote to holiday splurges. While you could make this with any kind of noodles and it would still be a wonderfully healthy dish, what makes this ultra-low calorie is the use of shiritaki noodles.

Sometimes a baked potato and a salad make the perfect easy winter meal when you don’t feel like cooking . This easy recipe is a little more interesting than a regular baked potato, but still simple enough to manage without feeling like you are a slave to the stove.
These potatoes are also referred to as Hasselback potatoes, which references the hotel in Stockholm where they were first introduced (The Hasselbacken). I recommend using russet potatoes for the best texture, but other varieties will work in a pinch.
