joyce's Notes:

I REC'D THIS RECIPE FROM A CO-WORKER BEFORE I RETIRED. IF YOU LIKE KALE, YOU WILL ENJOY THIS SOUP.

Directions

WASH KALE WELL, REMOVE LEAVES FROM STEMS & DISCARD STEMS. TEAR LEAVES INTO PIECES. SET ASIDE

HEAT OLIVE OIL IN HEAVY PAN OVER MEDIUM HEAT & SAUTE ONION RINGS STIRRING OCCASIONALLY UNTIL IT BEGINS TO CARMELIZE (15 MINS OR SO)

ADD GARLIC & PEPPER FLAKES & SAUTE MIXTURE ANOTHER MINUTE.

ADD BEANS, BROTH, WATER & OREGANO, BRING TO SIMMER

ADD KALE & SIMMER UNCOVERED, STIRRING OFTEN UNTIL DONE. SEASON WITH SALT & PEPPER.

I LET THE SOUP SIMMER FOR ALMOST AN HOUR ON LOW HEAT BEFORE SERVING.

SPRINKLE PARMESAN ON TOP OF SOUP BEFORE SERVING IF SO DESIRED.
