Low-Carb, Gluten Free and Vegan Summer Vegetable Soup Recipe

One of my favorite thing is the Portuguese kale that I have come to love. The leaves are bigger and the taste is not as bitter. It leaves the soup with the taste of sweetness but most all it's super good for you. Not to mention I grew up on this stuff with my mom making soap every weekend for the week. Before every meal you had your soup first and needed to finish it before you started your meal. She never made a big deal to finish your plate but you had to finish that soup first.

As I have gotten older, I am so thankful that my mother had the foresight of eating lots of veggies. The vegetables were really what made you healthy. None of the soup she made really had a lot of meat but tons of vegetables. The other thing I noticed  about having a bowl of soup before dinner, it's almost impossible for me to over eat anything else for the night. I feel full and usually more satisfied with my meal.
