Per Vegetarian Times, "This brothy soup provides heart healthful nutrition on many levels: kale and garlic are good for the cardiovascular system; wheat berries are high in fiber; and shiitake mushroom contain an amino acid that speeds up processing of cholesterol in the liver." You need to plan ahead to make this, as the wheat berries require an overnight soak. WOW was this a yummy and simple soup. . .made with fresh ingredients. Love it!!! Even my meat eating neighbor ate it up. The kale gives it a little of a tangy flavor.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your soup will taste. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and herbs, and use high-quality olive oil and broth.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you add too many ingredients to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Add the ingredients in batches, and stir frequently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the seasonings as needed. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to develop and deepen. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Garlic and kale soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as grated Parmesan cheese, croutons, or a dollop of sour cream.
