""Kale delivers a huge dose of Vitamin K (with more that 600% of your daily allowance per serving) and plays a starring role in supporting brain and bone health. It has more vitamin C than an orange, more pro-vitamin A than any other leafy green and has more calcium than 1 cup milk." Plus it is packed with phytonutrients. Many many health benefits at the cellular level. The quote is from the book Fifty Shade of Kale by Drew Ramsey MD & Jennifer Iserloh. I am sure this soup can be made in the crockpot."

Super easy super good! Winter as it's been I have been enjoying making a hot lunch for two, dd and I agree this soup is a winner big time. DD asked for a repeat for tomorrow's lunch ... finally having all the ingredients for another of your soups saw that a no but will send a container for her evening meal. Another added to my Soup Cookbook.

Delicious soup! I changed the recipe a little by using cooked chicken, adding it at the end with the pasta and kale. I also used 1 quart of chicken broth and 2 quarts of water. Delicious soup that is also very filling. Thanks for sharing!
