Healthy chicken soup with pasta and kale. Rich in fiber, protein and iron.
Although the recipe calls for slow cooker, you can make this soup on the stove. Just make sure all ingredients are cooked thoroughly. I also make the soup on low and instead of 3 hours on high, I leave the soup for 6-7 hours on low. It is easier when you leave the house to leave the slow cooker to cook the food and you just season and fine tune the meal when you get home.
