Country Vegetable Stew (Low-Calorie)
A brothy French country stew of carrot, turnip, leek, celery and cannellini beans simmered in light vegetable stock with thyme and bay, finished with a drizzle of olive oil instead of butter or cream. Lighter than the classic pot-au-feu style vegetable stew, served with crusty bread.
