Some days I just love a good comforting soup. Chicken and rice is definitely one of my favorite soups to make. I decided to put a new twist on it by adding some Kale and Lemon!

Kale is perfect for soup. The leaves hold up well and you don’t get much wilting like you would using Spinach or some other leafy green.

Plus Kale is so good for you. It has powerful antioxidants, tons of vitamins, it can help lower cholesterol, and is one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world!

Basically Kale is like a SuperFood!

I also love the addition of adding fresh Lemon Juice to this soup. I recommend using the juice from Lemons vs. the kind out of a bottle. There is definitely a taste difference.

Now I love Lemons, so I juiced 3 Lemons into this soup which was about 1/2 cup. You may want to start with a small amount of Lemon Juice, stir it in, taste and add more juice to your liking.
