Let me know what you think, Elizabeth! Love your poetry . . . and I’m cookin’ up soup for Rachel S. this weekend, in fact . . . at least I can feed her, if nothing else. Hugs to you!

Redolent kitchen, rich with spice
cooking up your soup: so nice!
Thinking of Rachel S. the whole time. She sure does love her soup recipes!
Thank you again, Sarah. I can’t wait to taste this soup. It has felt healing just to make it after a raw week. Cheers.

Sarah, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for sharing this portrait of your father. It is a touching, honest reminiscence that made me appreciate the spirit you convey in your writing (and your life) all the more. And this recipe is so perfectly timed! I was just moving the extra lemons I bought for Thanksgiving from their place in the basket on the counter to the fridge for longer keeping, wondering whatever would I make of them now; then noticed the extra kale I bought, still in the fridge after I decided NOT to double that kale salad recipe for turkey day guests… On this cold, raw day, soup pretty much sums it up. Thank you, hold on to those wonderful memories of your Dad, and keep living well.

I am so sorry to read about your Dad and I am sure that the loss will be so great for quite a while. As you heal, remember that all your postings help people like me get encouragement to live healthy and happier lives.
I am so glad we met.
XO

I am sorry for your loss, Sarah and cried when I read this particular blog filled with so, so much love. As your Dad inspired you, you inspire me…you’re a tough cookie, a strong, honest woman, and a “light” who pushes me to eat healthfully (even when I want to grab the Teddygrams and veg on the couch) and stay fit. I met you through cancer, but to me you are so much more than that! When my crock pot smells of Indian Butter Chicken or Taco Soup, I feel your inspiration and the grit to focus, move forward, and be strong. Where ever you decide to go with this blog – know that I’ll always be “semisweet” when I cook up your yummies and head to the gym!! Hugs!! XOXO- Heidi

Stay strong, Sarah. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe. Kale is rich in vitamin K (which I kinda need right now!), so I'll surely try your recipe.
