Creamy Kale and Shiitake Soup

January 25, 2018 By Kris Kelly

Here we go, Creamy Kale and Shiitake Soup made specifically for the month of January and all of us who desire a warm cup of liquid nutrition. When it comes to cold weather, smoothies are not always the best option for a quick breakfast or lunch. Instead, the girls and I enjoy making a large pot of soup that lasts 3-4 days when refrigerated. We often divide our soup into portion-size jars for a quick reheat on the stovetop before pouring into a thermos. We especially love our  Hydroflask food containers as the perfect vessel for taking our nutrient-dense soups with us for a busy day.

Soup for Breakfast:

A small paradigm shift is often needed to realize that our bodies are better served with warming meals when the temperature dips into the single digits. It makes no sense to drink a smoothie or eat cold, raw oats when your teeth are chattering in the morning.  LOL! So, give it up folks, I’m giving you permission to lose the morning smoothie routine until March.

Soup as a Snack: Why Not?

Soup is a delicious pick-me-up in the afternoon and, when placed in a sturdy thermos, is the perfect companion for a long day. Often low in calories and packed with veggies, a small container of warm soup will give you the energy needed, without the undesired crash, to power through your day.

Creamy Kale and Shiitake Soup:  We’ve combined minimal ingredients for a simple meal.
