Really tasty! Bf and I made this soup but changed it to add a package of bacon: So instead of using any olive oil we just chopped up the bacon and let it fry for a bit, and added the rest of the ingredients more or less as the recipe instructed. I did add maybe 3 cups more water to the recipe in addition to the chicken soup to make it more soup-y, because we had a lot of kale, and the bacon. In the end we only used one can of white beans (not sure what kind), and let the soup simmer for maybe an extra 20 or 30 min to thicken it a little. Didn't do the blending. Flavor was great :)

Tis is THEE BEST Kale soup Ive ever made. My boyfriend is a farmer so naturally you could imagine how many vegetables we eat, and believe me, ive cooked kale many times and this combination is SO TASTY! there is a real balance to the bitterness in the kale that makes you want to pick up the pot and pour this soup straight down your throat!

Wish it made more. Really good though once I increased the spice.

Very good!!! I was worried this recipe wouldn't have a lot of flavor, but I was wrong. It was delicous and SO EASY. My husband loved it, as well as my 2 1/2 yr old daughter. I followed the recipe exactly. But I would make a few small changes next time (and there will be a next time!). I would add another can of beans, some carrots and possibly some diced potatoes. The flavor of this soup was perfect but I felt it needed something more robust in it... it needed to be chunkier.

I search for simple and delicious recipes. This one's a keeper! I added chopped carrots, and simmered a piece of Parmesan rind in it for added flavor. Topped with shredded Parmesan. Half of my family eats meat, so I browned some Italian turkey sausage in a separate skillet, then they added it to their own bowls.

This was easy to prepare and so declicious. I used white navy beans, but would like to use kidney beans next time because of their texture.

This soup was really not good. It is healthy, but the seasoning is completely overwhelming! It tastes like water flavored with rosemary and there is strong grassy aftertaste with the parsley. I do not suggest adding it. I never put crackers in soup, but had to add quite a few butter crackers to make this palateable.
