This is my healthier version of zuppa toscana. Soups are typically low in calories and dense, so it will help control hunger by keeping you satiated longer. Kale is high in vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C and in the following antioxidants: lutein, zeaxanthin and carotenoids that are good for eye health.
Optional tools to speed to process: food processor and immersion blender.
For a thicker consistency cauliflower can be cooked separately and pureed with an immersion blender.
