Spinach + Kale Soup
Well, well, well, - here we've been on your computer screens for just over two weeks now and no food post! Today I'm going to change that and share a recipe for a super easy, vitamin packed, totally tasty, oh- and bright freaking green, soup!
In the fall and winter I love making soups. My go-to is the end of the week "fridge soup" where I take any piece of produce left in the fridge and go to town. No two soups are the same, no recipe is required, and countless batches of soup in- I've never been disappointed. However, when I was scrolling around on Popsugar and saw this soup- I thought I'd attempt to actually follow a recipe (shocking, I know!).
While I still made modifications (hey, it's what I do) - I mostly followed the recipe and ended up with a soup that is not only tasty, but totally guilt free! When I tell you there is nothing bad for you in this soup, I mean it!
Next time I'd probably add a bit of celery and some carrots just because why not, but here's the recipe I used below, and the original recipe is here.
