(my kids took ceramics for several summers in a row, and at some point I was running out of display space for their objets d'art and asked for a salt crock. It's got a lid, but when the lid is on you'll never know that it holds salt and ask me what weird ingredient that is in the photo.) I will pass on your compliments to my daughter.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Kirstenhttp://www.farmfreshfeasts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689405125611757524.post-80020623004199909392013-06-27T06:13:45.198-07:002013-06-27T06:13:45.198-07:00I am an everyday soup girl and I love this one.I am an everyday soup girl and I love this one.Agrigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315489868330010105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689405125611757524.post-27781526288274243562013-06-27T00:10:59.581-07:002013-06-27T00:10:59.581-07:00Love that the original recipe to this soup came fr...Love that the original recipe to this soup came from a woman in Duluth, MN!

I love the addition of the kale - very pretty color! If you want to be "traditional" - the tiniest of the first vegetables are why this is called "summer" soup. But a long time ago, I made it with a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and it too was very very good!

My hubby doesn't like kale, but I'm sure I could sub in another sturdy dark green easily. <br />As for using up your kale, have you tried kale smoothies? I make them from time to time for my breakfasts, and they're actually pretty good. I use vanilla soymilk, natural or homemade peanut butter, rehydrated chia and flax seeds, and either bananas or avocados. And honey for sweetening - that part is highly necessary. And I find that if I'm using avocado, then a little turbinado is also necessary (like, a teaspoon for the whole smoothie). If using bananas, then just the honey will do.
