I am a huge fan of kale. I could eat it every day and this week I have. It just tastes so good to me and is something I always have on hand. So when I came home from New York last week, kale was one of the two things I had in my kitchen. The other was 2 kinds of dried beans. I was freezing, so I decided a soup was the way to go. Aren’t soups the best? You can pretty much just throw a bunch of stuff in a pot, add some water and you’re good to go.

I couldn’t believe how amazing the soup tasted when I was done. It is an instant favorite and I will probably make it several more times throughout the fall and winter. And the fact that it’s so easy makes it a total winner. Here’s how I made my tuscan bean & kale soup.
