Nesting and Soup

We are expecting quite a bit of snow this afternoon and into the evening hours

it`s got me feeling all homey and ``nesty``

and drawn to the kitchen

for something wonderful to warm my soul 

is there anything more comforting than a pot of homemade soup?

here`s one I like to make on days like this

Black Bean & Kale Soup

1 tbsp olive oil 1

1 onion, chopped

1       cloves of garlic , minced

1 carrot, chopped

1 celery stalk, chopped

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp pepper

6 cups vegetable stock

1 cup gluten free pasta

19 oz can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup chopped kale

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic, carrot, celery, thyme and pepper, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Add stock and beans; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes

Add pasta and kale; cook until tender, about 10 minutes

  

Yum!
