The BEST soup to nourish your body and boost your immunity.
Cold and flu season is upon us and to help you boost your immunity (through nourishing your body) we've created this powerful soup full of flavour, protein and vegetables. It is a huge hit in our well&tight community as well. I make a big batch every week and freeze it in 2 cup portions for easy and quick lunch ideas.
Ingredients:
- 2 TBS extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 large shallots, chopped
- 3 medium zucchini, 1 large red pepper, 4 large celery sticks (cut into small pieces)

- 1 package ground white turkey meat (substitute 1 can chickpeas for vegetarian)
- 2 TBS herbes de Provence
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed (vegetable broth for vegetarian)
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 small bunch kale, coarsely chopped (about 4 packed cups)

Directions:
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
