Very yummy -- however when I make this again I would only use one 15 oz can of tomatoes. The tomatoes were a bit overwhelming. I also added another bunch of kale. The one bunch about 4 packed cups I thought was not enough. I agree to make sure you really allow the kale to wilt. I even aggressive stirred the Kale while sauteing it before adding the broth. Overall good and easy.
