Green Soup!!



As the weather turns chilly, soups are a perfect meal to make.  They're inexpensive, simple to make, and the leftovers taste even better! 
I felt like making something healthy so I figured Green Soup would be perfect.  It's essentially a bunch of green veggies.  Duh.  It's vegetarian and can even be vegan!!
You will need,
6 cups broth (chicken, beef, or veggie)
1/2 c white wine
2 bags spinach
2 bags kale
1 package mushrooms (any kind)
1 large-ish tomato
1 bell pepper
1 small onion
3 cloves garlic
kosher salt, ground pepper
red pepper flake
1 tablespoon butter or oil
4 oz goat cheese

In a stockpot saute the onions and garlic until translucent.  Chop the kale, tomatoes, pepper, and mushrooms.  When the onions are done, pour the broth and wine into the pot and add all the veggies.  
Let it come to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.  Add salt, pepper, and spiciness to taste.  You can eat it chunky, just as it is.  
Rather, I use my stick blender and immersion blend it for a few minutes until it gets pretty smooth.  If you blend it, you can add the goat cheese to give it a little more zing!  Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and serve!
You can also add, meat.  Once I did it with italian sausage!! So delish!
Cheers!
