Mushroom Bulgur Soup
with Baby Kale & Lemon Cream
Bulgur is made from cracked wheat berries that are par-cooked and dried, making it a fast-cooking, versatile whole grain option. While mushroom and barley are a common pairing for comforting soup, we like the lighter, nutty flavor and convenient quick cook time of bulgur in this version. A drizzle of lemony cream sauce brightens this hearty soup, and butter beans contribute extra protein and fiber.
