Shiitake, Kale & White Bean Soup

Recipes, Soups & Stews

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I don’t know exactly why, but this Shiitake Kale and White Bean Soup is simply fabulous. When I first made it my hubby went crazy for it (even said it was the best soup I ever made!), but since I was in the midst of my juice-only-detox I didn’t get to enjoy any 🙁  Since today was cold and snowy, and my hubby was out hunting all day, I made up another pot and let.me.tell.you…it is AMAZING!!

Now, there’s a trick to this soup.. we call it the “Nan” cooking method. Nan would make dinner early in the day and let it sit on the stove until it was time to eat, like letting it rest. So, although I made this soup in just 20 minutes, the flavors didn’t come together until after it rested a while. Also, even though the soup is really good on it’s own, we think it’s best with a big spoon of parsley-butter-rice in the bottom of your bowl!

    This sounds like an amazing soup. I just have one question – why do you consider butter and bacon as healthy? Lots and lots of saturated fat!

      Karin – your question saddens me. There are so many people out there still afraid of saturated fats, I’m sorry that it’s a new idea for you.
      Through my 10 years of research, I’ve come to understand that REAL, WHOLE, NATURAL, OLD FASHION foods are not something we should fear… processed, manufactured, modern foods are what are robbing us of our health!!! Trans fats and manufactured fats are what you need to avoid… However, you need to become educated on the other side of the saturated fat argument.. we all need to be proactively in control of our health, and YES millions of us are experiencing great health when switching to diets of REAL FOOD – including eggs, red meat and saturated fats 🙂

      I have a post about fats (I’m not an expert) where I link to my favorite posts on the Web regarding fats – please start there!

      I’m always here to help you in any way I can 🙂 Here is a book I strongly urge you to read, it will answer every single question you have regarding fats – this is the most through book on fats and the body that’s been written. http://amzn.to/10ixsoB

      And yes. I consume lots of fats, mostly saturated.. and when I was at the Dr last fall (for the first time in 8 years) to get a basic check up when I turned 35.. He asked me back to see him so that I can review with him what I was doing, my cholesterol numbers were some of the best he’d ever seen (i’ve never eaten low fat foods, always real fats) and my vitamin D was the very best he’d ever seen… I am proof that it works 🙂

#AD -- Do you have expried or no longer needed med #AD -- Do you have expried or no longer needed medications in your medicine cabinet? 

Spring is the perfect time to do some deep cleaning and purge your home of things you no longer need. When tackling your medicine cabinet, it’s imperative that you handle unwanted or no longer needed medications, properly. 

Maybe you’ve made serious progress in your healthy living journey and no longer need all your medications, or you have a few bottles that you have been pushing around your medicine cabinet that are no longer taken or even expired. No matter what the reason, if you are not taking the medication, it needs to go! 

Figuring out how to dispose of drugs can be challenging. You can't just throw them away or flush them down the drain!
