This is quick and easy to make from ingredients found in most grocery stores. Updated to taste better by adding chicken broth. If you use chicken bouillon cubes, omit salt.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add a bit of extra kale and potatoes to the recipe, but it's still delicious even if you follow the recipe exactly.

This soup was very good! I made a few minor changes to the recipe, but it turned out great. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and I added a bit of smoked paprika. The soup was very flavorful and satisfying. I would definitely recommend

I was a bit hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of kale, but I'm so glad I did! The soup was delicious and the kale was not overpowering at all. I will definitely be making this again.
