Trina Bigham started making the soup just a few years ago...about the same time she decided to start cooking healthier meals for her family—husband Chai and their three children, Kai, 19; Elle, 17; and Brennan, 15. Chai is a mechanical engineer. Trina works as a care coordinator, providing support to families that have children with complex medical issues and multiple disabilities.
“I wanted to get away from processed and refined foods, and this soup fit right in,” says Trina. “I got the recipe from a friend and added the kale. She put the soup through a food processor, but I chose not to.
“The whole family enjoys it. I serve the soup for lunch with a sandwich or for dinner with a salad. My mother loves it, too, so I often make it for her.” |
