Day 19

Aw, yeah.

I made a big pot of this healthful and deliciously spiced kale and chickpea soup over the weekend, recipe here, copying Juno.

It's going in the keeper file: warming and soothing, virtuous yet tasty, quick to throw together once you wrangle your shrubbery-sized bundle of kale. That last part might have just been me. I made a couple of minor tweaks — used (low-sodium) chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, swapped out the saffron, which I didn't have on hand, for tumeric, which I did, and, added a large diced sweet potato. And I topped off each bowl with the juice from a quarter of a lemon.

The only word of warning I have is that the leftovers were much better the first two days. After that, they tasted, well, left over.

It was good, wasn't it? Making it again for t-giving.
