Kale Soup

Had a pretty busy day today and had a later lunch so I was definitely not feeling like cooking when we got home at 6 pm. I figured I better make something or we would dive into the frozen pizza at like 9 pm... so kale soup it was. I saw a recipe similar to this online but didn't have 1/2 the ingredients so pretty much made this one up as I went. It only took about 30 minutes from start to finish, perfect for a weeknight meal!

1 large bunch kale, chopped

1 lb ground turkey breast

2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed

1 large yellow onion, chopped

5 cloves garlic, minced

2-3 zucchini, chopped

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

salt and pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

32 oz chicken stock

2 cups water

Directions:

• Saute onions and garlic about 3 minutes and add turkey meat and seasonings. 
• Cook the meat until cooked all the way through and add the chicken stock, water and zucchini. 
• Cook about 15 minutes until it starts to slowly boil.
• Add kale and cook another 10-15 minutes, until kale is wilted, but still tastes fresh and has some crispness. 
• Serve up! We topped with a little Parmesan cheese
