This is my first review here. I am inspired to write as I sit with bowl of the soup before me. This soup is awesome. It is easy, fast, and delicious. I used a can of pinto beans and a can of black eyed peas. Instead of italian seasonings, I used a seasoning blend called Pasta Seasoning by The Spice Hunter as it felt like it would go well. I also used about 2 cups additional broth and simmered for more like 30 minutes or more. I topped the soup with a bit of parmesan. Delicious!

I LOVE this soup. I've made it twice in the past couple of weeks. Once I made it with Butter Beans, which gave a really nice smooth sort of creamy flavour. I also added a little bit of red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.

It was quite good! I served it over brown rice instead of as soup. The only change was that I used canned tomatoes because that is what I had. One word of advice, chop the kale pretty small because I didn't and I regretted it.

Loved this recipe. Tasted great even though I used water instead of stock. I thought that 8 garlic cloves was a little too generous so I used 4.

I did not blend anything because my husband has a hard time with soup due to texture. I did 3c. of stock and a can of diced tomatoes with all the juice. I really liked it and will make again.

excellent soup my boyfriend loved it! I used vegan chicken like seasoning with a lot of vitamins/minerals in it and also added a dash of cajun seasoning and a dash of hot sauce which didn't add heat but added flavor but it was still good before

I had kale and needed to use it in a good way. I added some fresh Hungarian peppers as well and at the end some Andouille chicken/turkey sausage. I also cooked it about half an hour longer to tenderize the kale. Very hearty fall meal with some nice bread and butter. Luna

This is really good! I used mostly veg. broth and a little chicken broth as I didn't have enough veg. Also, I used a can of diced tomatoes (drained) instead of fresh as I didn't have any on hand. I simmered it for close to an hour to get the kale soft which I prefer! Will make again and again! Healthy and tasty! Thanks for the post!

this didn't turn out as good as i thought it would. Few mistakes on my part: used beef broth instead, not enough beans, too much seasoning..I think the recipe called for way to much garlic! atleast i finished my bowl..

This was easy and tasted so great! I chopped the kale in a food processor which made it easier for the kids to eat. I also doubled up on the liquid, which was a big help. This one is entering the rotation!

GREAT WITH HAM ADDED, TOO This soup is hearty, and delicious! I will return to it again and again. It's easy and quick to make but tastes like a more complex recipe. I used 1 can of cannellini beans and 1 can of white beans. I didn't have fresh tomatoes on hand, so used canned diced tomatoes ("italian"--with garlic, oregano and basil.) I used 1 cup more kale, too--and added diced ham. I simmered without lid for 15 minutes, and with lid for 20 to better blend the flavors, and also added a dash of cayenne pepper.

This soup was alright, but it just wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be, since its so healthy. Maybe it was the fresh parsley, that seemed to be all I could taste. I've also never had kale before so maybe its an aquiered taste. My husband, however, actually had seconds which surprised me.

I made this very different because I wanted it to be more vegetably for the summertime. I used only 1 can of beans, didn't blend any, and added in 1 diced carrot and 1 diced red bell pepper, plus spicy pepper. It was really enjoyed in this house, and super healthy too, thanks!

This is delicious! I normally try to make the recipe exactly as stated the first time I make something, but I was short on kale by about one cup. I topped it up with wild spinach... still fantastic!

Absolutely delish! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out wonderful -- However, I did simmer much longer -- probably about 45 minutes total. It tasted just as great after the leftovers were frozen for a couple of weeks, the kale was even still tender. Definitely recommend this recipe for a soup lover!

This soup is so good, and so easy. Often a batch only lasts one day around here, as it is eaten for lunch, snacks, and dinner. I use vegetable bullion instead of chicken stock, otherwise I follow the recipe as written.

Pretty good! I used my slow cooker for this. I cooked up 1 pound of dry beans, instead of canned. Then proceeded with recipe. I used dried parsley, omitted tomatoes and did not use italian seasoning (I forgot-woops!). I set it to low and let it cook all day. Pretty good even without the italian herbs. Healthy too!
