It is getting chilly outside and dark earlier. This soup lifts my spirits and smells great while cooking. I've tried it in the crockpot and found that it cooks almost as well.
Kale and White Bean Soup (adapted to taste better)
2 tablespoon coconut oil (or substitute)
1/2 onion chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced/pressed
1 jalapeno diced
1 cup chopped carrots
1 chopped celery stalk
2 tablespoons tomato paste
6 cups water
2 tablespoons white miso paste
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
4 cups chopped kale, spines removed
1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 palm full of ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add and sweat the onion and jalapenos. Add the garlic, carrots, celery, and tomato paste. Saute until everything is combined well. Add the water, miso paste, cumin, and salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the kale and white beans and simmer for another half hour.
Makes 6 servings at approximately 160 calories per serving.
I sometimes add a boneless, skinless, and well trimmed chicken breast (or 2) to increase the protein.
