Ok recipe, remind me of escarole and bean soup. Truth is it is hard to make kale taste good. Just don't use too much kale like i did.

I made this twice in one week. The first time I made it strictly vegetarian, I made it after breakfast then heated it back on the stove at dinner. It was very yummy and there were no leftovers. The second time, I made it for my husband & added sausage & chicken broth. He couldn't get enough! Very easy & so nice and healthy with the kale and the beans!

Great recipe. It would probably be very tasty as is but I did change a few things. First of all I added a hot pepper, 2 carrots and 2 yukon gold potatoes to the onion, kale and garlic and fried those together for about 10 minutes. I mixed the tomatoes and let that cook a while before I added the broth. This mixture I simmered for about 15 minutes before adding the blended mixture. It was spicy and delicious. Next time I will probably add another can of beans to the blender mixture to give it a thicker consistency.

Very, very good soup! Everybody enjoyed it. I forgot the parsley the second time I made it and thought it was just as good, if not better. (You can taste the kale more without the parsley, in my opinion). Definitely a new favourite! Mium.

This soup is so fresh and delicious! Plenty of garlic--just my taste! I added some smoked sausage as other reviewers suggested and a little crushed can tomatoe sauce to the broth as I had some left over and it really added to the flavor. My BF always has to eat meat in his meals so the sausage really added some extra heartiness.

This soup is really hearty and delicious! I added 6 very thin slices of dried chorizo to the onions and it gave the soup a nice smoky undertone. I also added a 2" by 3" parmesan rind while simmering. I would suggest cooking it as long as it takes to really soften the kale. So healthy too!

This was a surprisingly yummy soup. The only thing I changed is I used some home made vegetable stock instead of the chicken stock. Yum!

Wow so good! I wasn't expecting this dish to have so much flavor. If I did it again, I'd make cornbread to go with it.

Don't know what to do with kale? This is it! This delicious, warms-the-soul soup goes very well with cornbread. I feel healthy after eating it! I like the variety of vegetables, which you can substitute for other vegetables you have on hand. (I used a large garden-variety tomato and red onion instead of yellow.)

I liked this soup, but one could definitely botch the flavor if nice, ripe tomatoes aren't used. The soup definitely tasted better the second time around because of the acidity from the vine ripened tomatoes. I thought the that the acidity was important enough that I even doubled the amount of tomatoes called for the second time I cook this recipe. This time it turned out very well. I also recommend leaving out some Parmesan cheese for people to add to their soup if desired. It was a nice addition that some people liked.

I wanted to use up some kale I had and this was a good way, it was a little bland needed more seasonings but over all this was a good recipe thanks for sharing.

This soup was really good and I am generally not a soup lover! I only had one can of beans so i did not blend any. I also added potato, carrot and fresh basil. Topped it before eating with some parm!
