This soup is so good for you! Kale is a powerhouse for your health, especially your lungs.
In a stockpot, I put two cans of organic butternut squash, one can of pumpkin, one container of bold chicken stock, a heaping TBSP of coconut oil, and a little water. I stirred that up and let it begin to simmer. I added 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, sea salt, and black pepper.
I washed and tore a bunch of organic kale. I threw that into the stockpot. (but not too early - I never want my kale too overcooked to the point of mushiness)
While that cooked, I prepared the shrimp. Fresh would be best, but mine was frozen. I thawed them in cold water, threw them into boiling water for 2-3 minutes, scooped them out, and threw them into the soup.
None of this soup gets thrown away in my house.
I made this one up, not knowing if they'd like it or not, but they've asked for it again, so I know it's a keeper.
This soup is able to stand alone, too, without the kale or shrimp or either.
I order the butternut squash soup from Amazon.com or vitacost.com, so don't bother hunting for it in the groceries around here......
