A good one is Kale and beam soup!. Kale is bitter normally but in this soup its great!. Kale is extremely healthy!!

2 15oz cans of pinto beans
4 cups of raw kale (Chopped and diced) from the edges!.
4 cups of chicken broth
1 yellow onion
1 tbl spoon of olive oil
4 large cloves of garlic
Cut corn from the cob already boiled is optional(more work but adds the perfect sweet to the soup) Diced Roma Tomatoes are an option as well!.

Peel the garlic!.!. Cut the onions into pieces (as large or small as you prefer) then in a Large pot, add the olive oil, put burner on medium or close to high heat!. Smack the garlic and plop in along with the onion!.!.!. Saute for a good few minutes (stirring) till the galic starts stickin a bit, then throw in the Kale!.!.!. saute that until the Kale is good and wilted(stirring)!. Then Add 3 cups of broth and 2 cups of beans (not drained)!. Let that come to a light boil for about 5 minutes!. During that time!.!.take whatever is left of the beans and broth, put into a blender and liquify!. After the 5 minutes add the liquid and light boil or simmer for about 15 minutes!.!.!.!.!.!. You might want to cover the pot so it doesn't lose too much moisture as well!. GOT NO COMPLAINTS YET ONLY PRAISE :) The only problem is finding the Kale, not expensive stuff but a lot of places don't sell it!.!.!. Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
