Fall is here!

Yeah yeah.. PSL is everywhere, but Fall also means warm, comforting, big bowls of soup!

With warm afternoons, and chilly evenings, Fall is the perfect time to make warm soups. I like to keep my soups light during this transition time thou. It’s not quit cold enough to make the heavy stews of winter, but chilly enough to crave a warm bowl of something. Start with a good homemade bone broth. I’ll be doing a post soon on how I make mine. I make a batch about every two weeks from the whole chickens I roast. It really makes all the difference in the taste and also is very good for you… ladies I’m talking to you! Extra collagen to help with your hair and nails, I’m so there!

Kale… you either love it or hate it. I happen to love it and use it all the time in dishes! Dark leafy greens, also good for the body. Next we have to have meat. I use Linguica from Carlton Farms. They are my favorite meat shop and I live close to them, lucky me :) You could use any kind of sausage in this soup. Also I added some potatoes to round out the soup to a filling meal. Ever since the hubs and I did a round of Whole 30 last spring, we have incorporated that way of eating about 80% of the time. And he loves that he gets more meat and potatoes than ever before!

This soup is super easy and fast to put together too, making it a healthy option for a weeknight dinner. I always make a big pot so we have leftovers for lunch the next day.

Cheers to Fall and enjoying the changes of the season~
