Onion, Kale, Chickpea, and Chicken Soup

This was easy to make and so delicious. I added about a tablespoon of lemon juice and that brought all the flavors together. I didn't have thighs but I had some chicken wings so I roasted in the oven them along with a chicken breast before adding them to the soup. I also used regular kale. Next time I might add some spinach to amp up the healthy factor.

My family loved this when I made it, using the straight recipe but more broth. The second time I made it, I added 2 tsp of Trader Joe's umami paste while the onions, garlic & carrots cooked ... then stirred in 2 Tbs of Trader Joe's Roasted Garlic & Onion Jam along with the soy sauce at the end. Talk about wow flavor for almost no additional calories!

Really tasty, easy to make soup that is incredibly healthy. My regular store didn't carry Lacinato kale but easily found at Whole Foods. No adjustments made to recipe.

This surpassed my expectations.  I couldn't believe all the flavor it had.  It was a perfect blend of fresh, clean, hearty, filling, and tasty!  I eyeballed the red pepper and think I went a little heavy on it, but I think I'll do it again next time.  

This was quick and easy to put together. Very flavorful and filling. Will keep in the cold weather rotation.
