Clean Eating: Easy and Delicious White Bean & Kale Soup
It’s yours truly, Wendy Battles, the Clean Eating Coach, with a super simple, healthy and delicious recipe that will have you convinced that clean eating is for you!
The inspiration for this recipe came from Vegetarian Times magazine. Several years ago I came across the recipe but never made it. It’s one of those that I copied, put in my recipe binder and pretty much forgot about it. Recently, I was going through my recipes in an effort to mix things up and try something different. This one jumped out at me and I was really appreciating how simple it was to make.
I love that it’s all natural, is focused on a variety of clean eating foods and can be made in minimal time — all criteria that make this recipe a keeper. And it’s the perfect winter soup — seasonal, hearty and satisfying.
I gave it my own spin by switching up some of the ingredients — instead of a white potato, I used a sweet potato (seasonal root vegetable full of antioxidants and fiber), instead of parsley, I used my all-time favorite veggie, kale (rich in Vitamins A, C, E, K, iron, potassium and fiber, to name a few). And I added in a dash of rosemary which gave it a fantastic flavor.
I thought it was so cute when my husband Bruce emailed me from work to tell me how delicious it was. You have to love getting others on the clean eating bandwagon too, without a huge amount of effort.
Check out the recipe below and let me what you think if you whip some up.
