A warming winter soup packed full of living whole food nutritious goodness! Today this soup really satisfied, as it was both comforting and energizing!...And when I say "creamy", you need to know that it's also dairy-free!

Creamy and Spicy Kale Soup

Ingredients:

1 head kale, just the leaves, stems removed - about  4 cups
1 pint cherry tomatoes (12 oz)
1/3 cup of fresh basil
1/4 cup raw pine nuts
1/4 cup red onion
1/4 cup carrots
1/4 -1/2 jalapeno pepper - spice as hot as you prefer
1/2 lime or lemon juiced
2 T light miso
1-2 clove garlic, depending on your taste for garlic - I always opt for more when it comes to garlic
1/4 tsp salt - I used smoked salt.
2 cups hot water

Blend in a high-speed bender like a Vita-Mix until creamy-smooth and heated.

This makes enough for 2 very large bowls!

When I skip my morning green smoothie on cold winter days because a chia breakfast pudding or warmed apple spiced cookie seems more appealing, I still crave the greens!

This soup and is a way to get in the greens for lunch or dinner!....um, and it's YUMMY!
