- 8 cups of your favorite broth or stock veg or chicken
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat and sauté the onion and garlic until transparent and browning.1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 large onion chopped, 6 garlic cloves minced
- Add the pepper flakes, oregano, thyme and bacon bits. Stir to coat everything. Add the soy crumbles and the ½ cup of water as your pot may be getting a bit dry at this point.½ tablespoon pepper flakes, ½ tablespoon oregano, ½ tablespoon thyme, 4 tablespoon bacon bits, 2 cups Soy Crumbles, ½ cup water
- Stir and coat everything allowing the flavors to merge. I could not believe how much the soy crumbles looked like beef! I totally think I can sneak them by the hubby in a few meals.
- Anyway, add the kale and stir in. It will look like a ton. This is one "cup" according to NutritionData.com at 67 grams...4 cups kale rinsed and chopped
- I added 4 containers that size and it wilted down in no time. Just keep stirring. Once it wilts add the broth and cook for about 10 minutes before lowering to a simmer.8 cups of your favorite broth or stock
