Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for 25 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chopped kale to the soup and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for another 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Step 8

For the rustic bread, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free flour, 1.5 teaspoons baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.

Step 10

Add in 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 cup of warm water. Mix until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a small rustic loaf.

Place the loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crusty.

Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing.
