Thai Style Beansprout & Kale Soup {Vegan & Gluten Free}
Inevitably, everyone is trying to be good after the Christmas splurge. It's far too cold to eat salad, so give this comforting Thai Style Beansprout & Kale Soup a go. It's satisfying, super healthy and a mere 76 calories per serving. If you're a a fan of tom yum hot & sour soup you will love this.
The flavour is incredible and it’s spicy enough to blow away the chills. You can use any veggies you have to hand - I usually chuck in some sliced mushrooms to add protein. You could bulk it out with some rice noodles to make it into more of a meal if you like.
