What’s your holiday tradition? We have a huge soup bar on Xmas eve! Here are 2 healthy soups that my sister and I love! They share a key ingredient – KALE – and it’s super yummy in these soups. Thank you Bill, Kaci, and the Q13 FOX News crew for having me, it was super fun! 😀

White Bean and Green Soup

This soup is creamy and delicious! You'll never guess it's also healthy. I don't like eating kale raw but I love it in this soup, it gives it a great texture and the soup clings on to the kale. I hope you enjoy it as much as me and my sister!

Chicken Sausage and Kale Soup
2013-12-18 22:59:44
This soup is AMAZING! It's so delicious and big flavor clings to every nook and cranny of the kale. Bonus - kale adds vitamins and fiber too, helping to fight disease! We use chicken sausage and a little bit of nitrate-free bacon to give it lots of flavor. You'll love it, my sister and I always get seconds!
