2             Large Carrots (peeled and diced after washing)

  2. Add chicken stock, lemon juice, butter, Cayenne pepper, oregano and Kale to skillet or Dutch Oven. Cover and let simmer for 1 ½ hours (low heat). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Let mixture cool and fill a blender with approximately 3 cups of cooked vegetables/chicken stock and 1 cup cream at a time and blend.
  4. Repeat this procedure until all of the vegetable mix and cream are blended.
  5. Return blended vegetables/cream mixture to skillet, add nutmeg and cook until mixture simmers, stirring frequently. Serve hot. Soup can be frozen in portions and used at a later date.
