Creamy Mushroom and Kale Soup

Many creamy soups are thickened with flour and filled with cream. When it comes to soup, always be sure to ask about ingredients when dining out and read labels carefully at the store.

Just because you have a gluten or dairy sensitivity does not mean you cannot enjoy a creamy soup. This is perfect on a cold winter day!
