Love to have your recipe for mushroom kale soup MommaB

[MommaB]

The mushroom/kale soup recipe, I got from the forum and tweeked it:

Scallions (1 bunch, chopped, greens only) 1.5 carbs
Celery (1 rib) 1.2 carbs
Garlic Gloves (I put in 4) 4 carbs
Chicken broth (4 cups) 4 carbs
Water (4 cups)
Place in a spice bag:  1 cinnamon stick and 1 star anise - let it cook in pot for about 10 minutes then remove).... these two spices give it a nice warm flavor/feel.

At the end of cooking cycle, add:
Kale (5 cups, packed, chopped) 27 carbs
Mushrooms (4 – 8oz pkg, sliced) 12 carbs
Continue to Cook down probably another 15 minutes.

Let sit to cool down somewhat and then blend it down

Carbs in whole recipe – 49.7
Makes 8 large servings for 6.2 carbs each serving
