This is a combination of several Kale soup recipes I looked at, then modified to be in keeping with my Nutritarian eating style. The end result is a delicious soup with lots of flavor and healthy vegetables. It makes a big batch so there is plenty to freeze or eat another day. You can reduce prep time by using pre-chopped or frozen kale, frozen onion and mushrooms and jarred garlic.....For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional).
