Vegetarian kale and bean soup. Being on a fast and only eating fruits, vegetables and whole grains for someone like me who is a carnivore is extremely difficult. It does however make me become more creative on things to make to satisfy not only my palate but also satisfy me. The beans certainly help to make it more filling and the bouquet of garni give it a great flavor.
