I’ve been home for 11 days from visiting the family over the holidays and I still feel like I’m not fully unpacked. Yes, my luggage has been emptied and my clothes have been put away. Yes, the Christmas tree and nutcrackers have been neatly stored in boxes in the basement. And yes, my full-time job has many tasks and future projects to keep me plenty busy. But for some reason, I don’t feel like I’m ready. And I think I know why.

My cooking game has NOT been on.

At least not like it was before the holidays.

It’s taken me a few days (more than I anticipated) to get re-acclimated to my non-holiday schedule. But after clearing a huge pile of dishes this morning and catching up on some DVR’d shows, I’m happy to finally say that I feel like I’m back and I’m ready.

And so I cooked.

This Winter Kale Vegetable Soup is just what I needed. It’s loaded with vegetables like kale, carrots and celery and packed with super savory herbs like rosemary, thyme and garlic. AND it’s a warm soup. Much needed after some really cold nights here in Pittsburgh.

I hope this funk I’ve been in is over. It’s funny how cooking always seems to help.

    Made this as is and OMG! Well two cartons of organic VB and one “can” of LSCB. Added the whole lot of kale. Delicious! Love the herbs…just the right amount!

    We love it. Asked my bride about adding some shredded chicken “next time” and she said, “I love it just the way it is.”

    So there ya go!

    Thank you so much!

    Cheers,

    I just made this and I included some tweaks – I added turmeric and it gave it a nice earthy taste. I think potatoes or mushrooms would be good next time around.

    Healthy recipe to have it. It doesn’t even take more than 20 minutes to cook. Vegetable Soup is very easy and fast to cook with delicious taste.

    This is great for vegetarians. To make it more of a complete meal I added 1 medium sized potatoe (chopped), 1 tin of cannellini beans, one leak, a bit of ginger, reduced the carrots by half and reduced the onions by half.

    This is my new favorite recipe. I’m always wanting to find soup recipes that add kale and this one is awesome. My daughter made this for me when I had pneumonia and I didn’t have much of an appetite, but this soup tasted so good and made me feel better. Will make it again and again!!!

    I totally understand what you mean!! My cooking game was on fire October – December. So far in January my focus has been clearing leftovers out of the freezer instead of cooking. I think it’s time to get back into the kitchen. This soup looks so comforting and is perfect for the kale I have growing in my garden.
