First, terrific photo. Your food stylings are getting much better from when i first found your blog. And kale has become an important staple for me, but so far mostly I just make the baked kale chips for a snack. Love the idea of this soup. GF is such a challenge. I have a nephew that I feed on too rare occasions and am always on the look out for something special. Heading over to look in on your friends blog.

Thanks for the kind words. I try to get photos, but sometimes when Alex is pulling on my leg asking when we get to eat, they still aren't the best. Lol While it's not gluten related, my mom has many food issues and I know how hard it is to cook for someone like that, so I hope Amber's blog gives you some ideas.
