  1. This has to be one of the most tasty soups I have ever had the pleasure to eat.. I watch what I eat and make sure its healthy. Sometimes things taste blah. But not with this recipe its simply amazing and you feel like you want to eat the whole pot.. Would recommend this to anyone in a heart beat. Thanks For the Recipe.
     
  2. Awesome - I tripled the recipe but don't think there will be the need to freeze it as it will be gone in no time. I used 8 cups homemade pork broth and 4 cups chicken broth in tetra pak, subbed in M&M Italian Meatballs and used one 19 oz can navy beans and one 19 oz can white kidney beans. Shredded up more than 3 cups kale and added 1 tsp each minced garlic, oregano and basil. DELISH!! Cut up red and yellow fresh tomatoes right from the garden
     
  3. I make this recipe in double batches and freeze half. I also use Hunts roasted canned tomatos to speed up prep time. This recipe with its clean simple flavors is one of my all time winter favorites. I've been looking for it every since I lost my nutrition issue of Oxygen. Thank you so much for posting!
     
  4. I was looking for interesting things to do with kale, and this was perfect. I didn't have cayenne pepper, so had to make do with regular pepper, and also used regular dry beans that I soaked overnight and cooked for 1.5 hours before using in the soup. Worked wonderfully, and this soup has the most amazing combination of colours and textures. Thanks for posting!
