Soups and Stews

A Warm Bowl of Delight

Kale and other greens are so good for your arteries and bones, and here is a lovely way to include them in a meal. Even children will enjoy kale in this soup, so it works well for the pickiest of eaters. A mini chopper helps cut down the time spent chopping the veggies—with the exception of the kale, which needs to be minced.
