Vegetarian Potato-Kale Soup

This healthy soup recipe has a rich, yet light and velvety texture.

Serve with crusty bread and a glass of wine for a cozy meal.

We call for bone-in pork chops to maximize flavor, but boneless pork chops are a fine substitution.

To round out this meal a little more, serve with rice or mashed potatoes.

A mandoline or vegetable peeler makes quick work of thinly slicing vegetables.

Beets contain a phytochemical called betalains, which can help fight inflammation in the body.

The boost of flavor from maple syrup, apple-cider vinegar and spices makes all the difference!

Try it with any greens you have in the fridge, such as chard or spinach.

Cumin, saffron, and oregano season rich chicken thighs and nutty farro as the dish simmers.
