Personal note: double the tomato soup recipe, but not the fats (per reader reviews). I'm not familiar with Michael Chiarello, but love that one reviewer called him a "hot bowl of soup." Fabulous!

Read a tip about new year's resolutions: make 12, one for each month of the year. I'm doing this, and my first month is: Eat More Veggies. It's January in the upper Midwest, but it's sunny California in my local produce aisle so there are no excuses for not loading up on colorful veggie sides.

Happy new year, happy cooking.
