Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 onion, diced
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    3 carrots, diced
    2 celery stalks, diced
    1 cup wild rice, rinsed
    6 cups vegetable or chicken broth

    4 cups chopped kale, stems removed
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  4. Ladle soup into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

  1. Add cooked shredded chicken or sausage for extra protein.
