Turkey, Kale, and Brown Rice Soup
Leave a comment
This is the first time I’ve thrown together a soup and I’m souper proud of how it came out lol. I LOVE soup!! Me and soup be like…well we would be bffs if it was a human. My hubby doesn’t understand my soup obsessions either. I eat soup in ALL seasons. Don’t sleep on some good soup (#Amys).
This dish is full of flavor. It took an hour to make, but it’s a worth it for that reason. Broth to veggies and meat ratio is crucial when making a hearty bowl o goodness. Dare I say everything outside of the title helped bring this recipe home; the carrots (to which I used a colorful medley of purple and white carrots, not just orange). Pleanty of shallots, a #dab of garlic powder, and a fresh chop of red bell pepper.
This recipe compliments of Giada De Laurentiis. I will be making more…

Summer Garden Tuna Stew
This summer our CSA farmer has had a bounty of delicious veggies. We are so blessed to have a such a great, affordable resource for our family. Enjoying our second year of hosting a CSA drop, the benefits just keep coming in! I had to make way in my fridge for a new load this past week and needed to make a tasty dish that was packed full of these veggies. After the birth of our 10th baby, I also required some extra minerals and nutrients as I continue to recover and nurse the newest sweet bundle – so I used a chicken stock made from a dear friend with the feet and bones of chicken for a super broth. Here’s the gist of what I did:
