I love Kale. I love it steamed, in soup, in salads and just raw. I started eating it because it is a super food, and kept eating it because I really like it! (Diazepam)
One of my favorite recipes is derived from this one from Canadian Living. But, as always, I changed it a bit.
Here is my version:

This looks terrific! If you buy fresh parmesan to grate on your food, the rind left at the end would be great thrown in this soup while its cooking!
