SO HOW'D IT GO?
Yummy! I used 3 diced tomatoes instead of the canned tomatoes.
This was excellent! I'll definitely have to make it again... and again, and again, perhaps. ;)b
This soup is great.... I added some corn , zucchini , carrots and celery and it tastes sooo yummy!!!
This was a really tasty and easy soup to make. I used the Swiss chard because I couldn't find any kale and it worked out nicely.
I made this last night and loved it! The kale was great and held up really well. I added whatever other veggies I had in the fridge and added a can of tomato paste to make it taste more tomatoey and it was wonderful. Thanks for the recipe!

I am going to try this recipe tonight. It has all of my favorite ingredients; except for the pasta. I think that I will add quiona or barley instead of the pasta. I just bought my first bunch of kale today so I can;t wait to use it. I will let you know how it turns out!
