Chicken, Potato, & Kale Soup

This recipe is part of my series “Baby is the Size of a…” I cannot believe when I started this series it was sweltering hot in the middle of summer and baby was only the size of a mango. We are now at 37 weeks, it’s the middle of winter, and we are only a couple of weeks away from meeting our sweet baby P! The closer we get to my due date the more and more antsy we are to find out the gender. This week baby is the size of a bunch of kale… which leads us to this soup recipe!

It’s been a gloomy gloomy weekend around here and now that it’s officially December it’s cozy season! That means soup on repeat for the next few months. The best part about soup is that you can make it out of almost anything. All you need is broth, usually some sort of vegetables and/or meat, and some seasonings. Mix together, let it simmer, and enjoy!
