This is my white bean and kale soup; it turned out really well. Instead of pureeing a batch of beans and broth to thicken the soup I used my immersion blender to kind of puree up the whole thing. This made the kale a little less kale-y and easier to chew. Also, if anyone is expecting a tomato kick, I'd add more.
Day one of my clean food challenge is done, though I'm waiting for sparkly. Oatmeal for breakfast (forgot how much I really don't like oatmeal), salad, soup, plenty of fruit, some rice cakes with almond butter, and some nuts. I was doing fine until about 2 hours after I ate the soup for dinner when I got ravenously hungry, something that happens to me on a pretty regular basis. So I made a 2nd dinner of brown rice, black beans, and homemade salsa. Better. I came pretty close to the gallon of water.
Planning on making a Indian Lentil Puree (Dal) tomorrow. Going to try my hand at some lentils. And I've got to make some kale chips for snacking. Everyone says they're actually good.
"sparkly" doesn't come for a few more days... keep it up!
