About

Here we are at week three of the soupy experience and I even have some fellow soupy followers (thanks friends), who are just as intrigued about the world of soups as I am, or maybe they are just being nice?

Whatever the case, Monday in my world is soup day, pretty strange, but becoming increasingly more exciting to me. Especially as I think about the more intricate soups that I would like to create.

This weeks soup was a kale and white bean variety, which I thought was pretty tasty and flavorful. Nothing super amazing but it did the soupy trick and even little soupy (M) loved the white beans for lunch. I did a little soupy research on this soup and basically saw that I was going to use the same ingredients that are in most standard kale and white bean soups, except I was sadly out of parmigiana, so that was taken out and some recipes included meats like kielbasa, which I didn't want to get involved with. I also forgot to add carrots at the last minute and would probably opt to use dry beans if I had more time. Anyway, here is the variety I made and do be sure to share your version of white bean and kale in the comments section.
