Staple Soup

There are a few things that you can always be sure to find in my house:

Bratwursts
Can Tomatoes
Chicken
Cans of Beans
Carrots
Onions
Greens (this time Black Kale)
Parmesan.

When I'm feeling cold and lazy I like to throw everything into a pot and make a big soup. Tonight was one of those night. A good soup is filling and so easy to do. I let the whole thing simmer for at least 30 minutes. Add a dash of dry basil, thyme, and rosemary (all from the garden). Throw in the kale. Stir. Serve. Garnish with shaved Parmesan. My recommendation is to splurge a little on a good block of aged parmesan cheese. It will store a long time in the fridge and a little will go a long way.
