Mushroom, Kale, and Rice Soup
Posted by in Food
It is definitely soup season, but at my house I’m making soup several times a week to feed my father-in-law (a true soup fan) while my mother-in-law is in rehab for a nasty fall. I’m making big batches, so we can have some dinner, I can send some home with him, and I have some to freeze. At the rate I’m going, I’m completely set should we be snowed in all winter.
My latest creation is mushroom kale soup. It’s hearty, it’s healthy, and it was easy to make. This was fantastic served with garlic bread.

This sounds really good, but tell me, what is “mushroom” broth?
It’s sold with the chicken and beef broth in the grocery store. If you can’t find it, substitute beef broth.
Love all these ingredients – I’ve got to try this. But I’ve never seen mushroom broth in the stores, and don’t eat meat. Do you suppose you could use chicken broth? I don’t see why not.
I would use beef broth. This soup is kind of earthy and deep tasting.
Three of my favourite foods! Plus it’s all in a soup, another one of my favourite foods. This one’s a keeper, I think.
Another recipe I’m saving!
Definitely trying this soon. I’m off to pin it now.
kale is a food I’ve meant to try — sounds as though this tasty soup could be a good way to begin I might use home made veg broth instead of the chicken broth though
