Another bean recipe coming your way! No, beans are not paleo. But the great thing about this recipe is that all you need to do to make it paleo is not add the beans. It’s that simple. No bitching needed. It’s been a week of bitching on the internet, so let’s clean it up around here, guys. No need to get upset about things that aren’t worth getting upset about. Bigger fish to fry, don’t ya think? This soup is pure comfort food, but the best part is that it’s crazy easy to make. You don’t need a boat load of ingredients and you may already have all of them in your pantry. I made this dish one night when I wasn’t sure what the hell I wanted and it’s now become a staple in our week! Fall is lovely, especially when it’s filled with soup!
I gotta touch on something, because God forbid I share (gasp) ANOTHER BEAN RECIPE. I had a couple people reach out to tell me that I need to rebrand since I’m going outside of paleo these days. Even though I’ve shared thousands of free paleo recipes, 3 paleo cookbooks, and ate paleo for 8+ years. But since I have expanded my palate into other food groups, some people believe I should rebrand my site. So I thought I would put things in perspective – rebranding costs A LOT of money. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars…while this site already costs A TON of money to run (I think many people think sites are free or don’t cost much money…that is incorrect for a site like this one). Then after you rebrand, you have to hire your web developer to redesign your site to match your rebranding, which also costs thousands of dollars. Rebranding isn’t just calling your site something different, it costs a ton of money. And I’m explaining this because I think we (as human beings who all think we know what is best) think we understand what it takes to run a business, but we really have no idea unless we are in it. I’ve had this website for almost 10 years and it’s stayed alive because I’ve put A LOT of money, time, and hard work into it. And if I now want that hard work to have some beans in it, that’s how it’s going to be. If you are unhappy with that, I’m sorry for your upset, but it’s not worth it. Please do not email me asking me to rebrand, unless you would like to pay for it yourself and become my manager (for free) to handle it all in a smooth fashion.
My soapbox speech has ended.
Woooooooweeeeee I sound like a bitch, huh? I’m ok with that. If people want to share their viewpoint and advice, I’m here to share my own. I gotta stand up for myself! And I’m just at my wit’s end, honestly. A bit exhausted from the last few days of social media and people taking their election stress out on me. Just a reminder, I am not Trump or Biden or Harris or Pence. Or anyone else in government. I’m just a woman who loves to work out, eat delicious food, hang with my dog, and listen to true crime podcasts. I also like to eat beans to clear up my acne and share that experience/food with you. Is that worth getting upset about? Nah. Life is too precious to stress over what other people’s diets look like. You know what you should stress over? How quickly you can get these ingredients and whip this recipe up. Here’s your friendly reminder to say something nice to a stranger today. Kindness goes a long way, especially right now.

We made a similar recipe last weekend but I’m making yours this weekend! Thanks again!
hope you like it, Kari!!
I’m just glad that you post delicious recipes that are paleo, non-paleo, gluten free, or whatever label applies. You make some darn good food that’s easy to prepare. Thank you for all your efforts in making my life just a little easier, especially making me laugh!
This looks and sounds delicious and I look forward to adding it to our menu! Been following for years and tho I’m not paleo, I have found some real inspiration here. Keep it up!
thanks for following along, Cory!!
Just want to saw this soup recipe is perfect. I used spicy breakfast sausage in lieu of Italian sausage since that’s what I had in the freezer and it was awesome! Thank you so much for everything that you do!
I think the most important thing is that your website / brand has the letters O. M. G. at the end of it-which most ppl say after eating your delicious recipes. That is what matters. So please, pass the beans or whatever food you damn well please!!
Well said:)
thanks, Jamie!!! OMG will always be part of my brand lol i don’t think I can ever let that go!
Thank you Juli!! This looks AMAZING!!! Keep sharing ALL of your recipes and experiences. 🍲🥣
thanks, Angela!!
Maybe a stupid question or one you have addressed before but what does it mean to massage the kale?
just scrunch and rub it between your hands! this makes the kale less tough and more enjoyable to eat!
Juli-
I’ve made many of your wonderful recipes and
always look forward to your weekly e-mail…you’re a wonderful young lady, don’t you change a thing!
Thank you for all you do. 😊👍
thanks for the love, Veronica!
Juli- I just want to say THANK YOU….thank you for being real, for being you and for understanding that what once was will not always be the best thing and adapting however you see best fit for yourself. I started paleo because it lined up with my food allergies….I have loved your recipes and cookbooks, they became SAFE & EASY options for me to add to my cooking rotation. The judgers will always judge – let them….I just wish they didn’t judge “meanly” and directly at you (or anyone else for that matter). Keep on smiling and know that you ARE APPRECIATED by far more people than you will ever know.
you are so insanely sweet, aimee!! it’s strange to me when people don’t understand change, learning, and adapting. it’s part of life and we all do it! if we were all trying to live like we once did, none of us would have eyebrows and we would all be wearing low rise jeans hahahaha
I have been making your recipes for close to a decade. I am forever grateful for the free content you share, and your recipes are always a hit with my whole family. We switched to a Paleo-ish approach almost ten years ago. But we never stopped eating beans, so your new recipes work just as well for us as all the others that you’ve shared over the years! And your recipe posts always manage to make me laugh, which is an added bonus. I’ve never commented before, but just wanted to add my two cents of support. Thanks for sharing your kitchen creativity with us for all these years!!
that’s great to hear! i’ve learned so much about beans recently and i really wish i would have known more when starting paleo. if i would have known better, i would have kept them in my diet and probably wouldn’t have had the same experience with acne. thank you for understanding where i’m coming from and supporting me even when you didn’t eat exactly how i did!!
Sadly, I think the negative people just speak more often and louder than others. I have used your recipes for years through different phases of food choices. I have been paleo, autoimmune paleo, and just clean eating. Your recipes and workouts have helped me through all stages. If there is an ingredient that doesn’t work, I change it without complaining. Thank you for the inspiration and work.
This soup looks delicious and will be on my menu soon, along with that pumpkin cake.
it’s very very true. why are the grumpiest people always the loudest? it’s super easy to change or remove an ingredient (or at least ask) without getting upset about it haha! thanks for the love, Sheila!
Love love love you and your beans… err I mean blog! ❤️
hahaha thanks Annie!
Keep bein’ your badass bean self. I’m snacking on beans right now all because of you 👍🏻
bean snacks are the best!
