the jetlag cure

i promise that today’s post will make a LOT more sense than yesterday’s! plus, it’s got an actual recipe in it. that is already an upgrade

to keep ourselves awake yesterday, we went for a nice long walk to the supermarket and stocked up on a few random goodies for dinner. i decided that we needed soup and created a pretty delicious and healthy one after checking out a couple of similar recipes. and after a big bowl of this and a good night’s sleep, i think i may have discovered the jetlag cure.

the key is in the ingredients and spice. it’s a fairly bland broth, but some nice fresh veggies make it truly special.

i didn’t make any measurements really…. just throw stuff in a pot and hope for the best.

apologies for the grainy photo!

the particulars:

• 1/2 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 4 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 can cannelini (or other white) beans, drained
• 1/2 bag of kale, chopped
• boiling water
• salt and pepper
• red chili flakes (optional)

lesson learned: veggies + fiber + spicy + broth = I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER TODAY!
