Super Energy Kale Soup
I woke up this morning to a beautiful fall day. Perfect day for soccer. Perfect day for warm homemade soup. We have tons of kale ready to be picked in the garden so I decided to make a pot of Super Energy Kale Soup. We have lots of soccer games on the schedule today so I decided to make it first thing in the morning so we could grab a quick warm lunch between games. It was the perfect choice! Healthy, filling and delicious!

I added the ginger and beans to the original recipe. If you add the beans and simmer for extra flavor you will need to add a bit more stock.
