This is the type of soup that you want to come home to on a winters eve. It's healthy, it's not too laborious, and it uses leftovers from my roasted guinea fowl recipe from last week - so an opportunity for 2 meals with one bird!
Filled with superfood kale, onions, carrots, courgette and cauliflower, you're surely getting your five-a-day. Bonus!
It's obviously a very broth-y soup, but I love my soups like this. I'm not a massive fan of thick, pureed soups.
Like I said, it also doesn't take too long to cook. I mean, I managed to make this after work, after a 40 minute commute on the train, so you can too!
Let's get down to the important stuff...

Leftover guinea fowl meat
Method

What do you prefer: thick, pureed soups or broth soups with pieces of meat/vegetables?
