    Kale is a vegetable you’re likely to start seeing a lot more of at farmers’ markets this time of year – it’s one of the hardier leafy greens around and tough enough to survive the first frost.

    In fact, it’s even tastier afterward, so go ahead and snap it up! It’s great in salads or baked into crispy chips, but you can also toss it into a hearty bowl of this winter soup for an extra burst of color and nutrition.

    The other vegetables here also prioritize the produce you can get seasonally; carrots and cauliflower should both be available fresh.

    It’s a great lunch if you constantly get home from the market on Saturday afternoon and have trouble deciding what to cook first: cook them all! With so much bone broth going into it, the soup is also a tasty answer to the first of the winter sniffle season.

    If you want to keep with the seasonal theme, this would be a great main dish to serve with roasted root vegetables, potatoes, or winter squash (and if you want to get really decadent, wrap that squash in bacon).

    Or toss it in a thermos bottle to bring anywhere for lunch on the go: even if you don't have anywhere to reheat it, it'll keep hot for a few hours until you're ready to dig in.
