Chickpea, Barley and Kale Soup


As many know, I am a registered dietitian at Anchored Nutrition Therapy and see a lot of folks with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and have an interest in gut health and how to eat more fiber for overall health and to support a diverse Microbiome. This soup ticks those boxes with lots of flavors, vegetables, whole grains, and fiber.
