Hearty Root Vegetable and Kale Soup
This soup is, for lack of a better word, awesome. The finished product is thick, warm and inviting. The root vegetables are soft and flavorful from the slow cooking on the stove top. The wine and nutmeg add complexity to the broth, which is soaked up by the noodles while cooking. For best results, eat the same day.
