Kale and White Bean Soup......

 2 c. onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
48 oz of chicken or veggie broth
16 oz. bag frozen edamame, thawed
16 oz. can white northern beans
2 lg. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
6 oz. frozen or fresh kale or baby kale
16 oz. fresh baby spinach
1T. cumin
1T. oregano
A few twists of freshly ground pepper from the pepper mill

In 8 qt. pot, sauté onion and garlic. Add all other ingredients. Heat to boiling and simmer 30 minutes until everything is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

This is also excellent in the crockpot....put everything in on low for 8 hours or high for 4.

It is a very forgiving recipe :0) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I want to talk a moment about how much I love kale. It is an absolute staple in my kitchen. Not only do I put it in soups, but I juice it every single day. It is soooooooooooo good for you!!
