Notes
Gina's Tips For Recipe Success
Add your salt and pepper gradually. Start with a pinch, then add more until you reach the desired taste.
Don’t overcook the kale, or it can become tough or overly wilted.
If you have time, simmer the soup longer than 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and create a more flavorful soup. Do this step before adding the kale.
Add more vegetable stock, coconut milk, or water if the soup comes out too thick.
Don’t skip sautéing the onions, garlic, celery, and carrots because it helps build the flavor of the soup.
