Potato Leek Soup with Lemon Olive Oil

Potato Leek Soup with Lemon Olive Oil

As part of our winter delivery, we always receive an abundance of potatoes and leeks. Leeks are a member of the allium family, or a relative of garlic and onions. They've got a silky, mild flavor and can be used in stir-frys, scrambles, and just about anywhere you'd use an onion.

Tuscan Butternut Squash Kale Soup with White Beans

Tuscan Butternut Squash Kale Soup with White Beans

After the rich, heavy meals of holiday season, this butternut squash kale soup is exactly the reset your body's asking for. Tuscan-inspired and built on the trio of butternut squash, lacinato kale, and cannellini beans, it's nourishing without being heavy — sweet from the squash, earthy from the kale and herbs, and gently warming from ginger, paprika, and red pepper flakes. It supports immunity, helps digestion, clears your sinuses on a cold morning, and delivers serious plant-based protein from the beans and kale. Finished with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a shower of Parmigiano Reggiano (or skip the cheese for a fully vegan butternut squash soup), this is the bowl that actually makes you feel better.
