Kale

This easy-to-make soup is packed with flavor. It's kind of a hybrid between a Portuguese Kale Soup and Minestrone.

1 bunch kale, cut into small pieces, ribs and stems removed

I followed the recipe exactly and my soup turned out watery. I think I needed to cook it longer.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not a fan of sausage, so I substituted ground beef. It turned out just as good.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really enjoyed this soup. The kale was cooked perfectly and it didn't have a strong flavor.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover sausage. I had some Italian sausage in the fridge that I needed to use up, and this soup was the perfect solution. It turned out great!
