Ingredients

    Kale, 1 medium bunch chopped (about 3 cups)
    Carrots, 6 small, diced
    Potato, 1 large, diced
    Leeks, 3, chopped
    Tomatoes, canned, 1 28 oz can

    Beans, white, 1.5 cup or 1 15 oz can
    Parmesan Cheese rind, 1 oz
    Pancetta, 4 oz, diced
    olive oil, 1 tbsp

Tips

can be made vegetarian by omitting pancetta and substituting veggie stock for chicken/turkey. very versitile- add celery, peppers, corn, or other veggies.


Directions

chop/dice ingredients as indicated. in a large pot, start the olive oil on medium heat. When shimmering, drop in diced pancetta and allow it to render for a few minutes. next drop in leek, onion, and carrot, and cook for a few minutes until softened. add garlic and cook another minute. next drop in canned tomato, then place kale on top of other ingredients and cover. Allow the kale to wilt for a few minutes, then stir into the leek/onion/carrot/tomato. add potato, beans, stock and parmesan rind, and stir together. season with your favorite herbs. I like rosemary, thyme and parsley in this soup. salt and pepper to taste.
