Meal Prep Directions:

  1. Cook the soup as directed and cool completely.
  2. Portion out for single servings or family sized servings. Store in jars (for fridge storage) or freezer bags (for frozen)

  4. To reheat single servings, add to a bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes.
  5. To reheat family portions add to a sauce pot and bring to a boil.
  6. Will hold in the fridge for 4-5 days and in the freezer for 2 months.

I love adding kale to soups and stews, it holds up so weak and doesn't get soggy like spinach. And it's packed full of nutrition too!
Special Tip: I like add in fresh lemon juice at the very end, it adds a wonderful flavor and you won't needs as much salt. Get a fresh lemon for the best flavor.
