Kale Soup = Chevron with Techron

The study schedule has picked up (spending the weekend in Chicago didn't help) and I seem to have less time to cook for myself and even less time to blog about it. But even if I'm going to go the mac and cheese route for the night, it's always nice to have a healthy side dish in the fridge to get some veggies in my system. And what better veggie than kale:


Kale is the forgotten cousin of collard greens. It scores high marks in the looks department--gorgeous green with deep purple highlights--and it's healthy to boot. I made a big pot of kale soup with chicken broth, potatoes, and chopped up Trader Joe's sausages for a fresh appetizer:


I consider kale the "Chevron with Techron" of vegetables--this fibrous leafy green will keep your body running smoothly and clean out the other junk that's accumulated in there. Haha. Gross.
