Notes

  • Stock – chicken stock, vegetarian or beef stock. It can be homemade or store bought. You can use recipe for Homemade Chicken Stock and Homemade Chicken Broth Soup.
  • You can use homemade cannellini beans instead the ones in the can. You just need to prepare them first. Firstly, buy dry beans, soak them overnight and cook them before adding to the soup.
  • Milk can be used instead of heavy cream, add slowly to the broth.
  • You can add spinach instead of kale if you prefer.
  • Meal Prep Tips: store in glass or plastic container or freeze.
