Eat Beautiful: Kale Soup Recipe



Eating well isn’t about fad diets or making drastic changes. As you’ll know if you’ve read my book Eat Beautiful, it’s all about eating well, eating organically, and eating seasonally. It’s about tailoring things to your needs and taking small steps to an inside-out beauty approach. Choosing between all the recipes in Eat Beautiful that I love cooking is almost impossible, but one recipe in particular I turn to time and time again as a pick-me-up or ‘detox’ meal. My kale soup is the food version of a skin cleanse, with delicious kale, fennel and leek, plus garlic and onion; which all adds up to a serious health injection. Follow my recipe below, and let me know what you think on Instagram.
