Hearty Kale and White Bean Veggie Soup

This kale and white bean soup is meatless but hearty!

It’s freezer friendly, a meal prep hero, and even better on the second day. It packs a punch in fiber, vitamins and micronutrients – the perfect combination of comfort food and health for cold winter months!

Keeping a fresh, homemade vegetable soup is an easy way to boost immunity during cold and flu season. Kale, peppers and broccolini are high in vitamin C. With collagen-rich bone broth as the base, it’s also a skin, hair, and gut hero as well as being high in magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.

This soup is high in fiber and greens, and the olive oil provides our healthy fat. To complete your blood-sugar-balancing Fab Four meal, just serve it alongside a roasted protein. Or simply heat a cup as an easy and satisfying afternoon snack. Make a double batch and freeze it in Souper cubes. Throw it in a Thermos for an easy lunch on the go. It’ll be your new cold weather staple!
