“Soup is cuisine’s kindest course. It breathes assurance; it steams consolation; after a weary day it promotes sociability; as the five o’clock cup of tea or the cocktail hour.” ~ Louis P. De Gouy
With the change of seasons, comes cool weather. Nothing like a comforting bowl of soup to warm and comfort the soul. What I love about soup is that not only does it provide nutritious and delicious goodness, but it is also a budget friendly and one-pot time saver!
Whether you are dining alone or feeding a crowd, soups are easy to make and packed with nutritious vegetables, spices and comfort.
Sharing a few favorites for you to enjoy!
SOUTHWESTERN STYLE SOUP
When the temperature starts to change with each cool breeze, I know what that means! It is time to break out the slow cooker for a comforting bowl of soup!

Add all ingredients except kale, avocado and salsa to slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for at least 4 hours. Cook up to 8 hours, depending on how thick you like your soup.
About 10 minutes before serving, remove the lid and set kale leaves on top. Cover with lid and let sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, stir to mix in kale evenly throughout. Ladle into bowls and top with a spoonful of organic salsa and avocado. Enjoy!
