    Substituted veggie broth for beef broth to make it vegetarian. And cooked it in the crock pot - came out pretty good. - 2/27/12

    This came out 100x better than I thought it would. If you add a little lemon at the end of cooking (a little less than a Tbls) It adds a little zing. Thanks for this! - 3/14/14

    Incredible!
    Kale's on seasonal sale now in June/July. This is a fantastic way to use up the second half of a bunch. I'd wilted and frozen my extra kale, and used that. Quick and easy, and satisfying. Instead of cayenne, I used crushed pepper flakes for a slower, more sutble heat. - 6/29/12
