Chock-full of veggies, this soup soothes both the body and the spirit. The kale is packed with nutrients, including omega-3s, and the beans add a natural creaminess.—Beth Sollars, Delray Beach, Florida

Made this when I first found it in CW magazine, and loved it! Can't wait to make again, now that I found back the recipe and pinned it!

This is a great recipe with lots of flavor. My boys liked it a lot and I felt very good about giving them something full of healthful vegetables. Also, it was pretty easy to make with prewashed and precut kale. I would certainly make it again. Thank you!
