Pork, White Bean & Kale Soup

From EatingWell: September/October 2007 — Subscribe Now!

Kale is matched up here with white beans and chunks of lean pork tenderloin to create a soup that's satisfying and quick to make. Smoked paprika gives the soup a Spanish flair so some warm bread and sliced Manchego cheese would go well on the side.

Excellent! Easy to make and filling enough for dinner. I used swiss chard instead of kale (what was available at the time). I would make it again! Meghan, Baldwin, NY	7 weeks 5 days ago
This soup came out very well, however, I did substitute the pork with chicken and used spinach instead of kale. Everything else was the same and I will definitely be making this again, I'll try the pork and kale too. It was very good and very feeling. Margie, Palmdale, CA	7 weeks 5 days ago
If you don't have smoked paprika I used regular paprika with a ham hock for that smoked flavor. Perfect!! and delicious. Tom, DC	7 weeks 5 days ago
Absolutely delicious, we all loved it. Will definitely be adding it to my repertoire. My kids (8 & 6) loved it, and I felt it was at their level - just enough greens to make me happy, just enough flavors to keep them eating. Terrific 45~min. one pot wonder! Amy, Charlotte, NC	7 weeks 5 days ago
I thoroughly enjoyed this soup! However, upon completion of the recipe, it was still a bit bland, it seemed to need more acidity and 'pop'. I added a bit more wine, a a squirt of lemon juice, plus I doubled the amount of garlic. With the modifications, it was fantastic! Lexi, CA	7 weeks 5 days ago

This is an excellent soup. My very picky 14 year old son went back for seconds. This soup is delicious hot or cold and it tastes even better on day 2. Danny, Acworth, GA	7 weeks 5 days ago
This recipe was easy and the results were terrific. Very flavorful and tasted even better the next day. I added some leftover red beans and yellow squash as well to the mix. Yum. Lisa M, Downingtown, PA	7 weeks 5 days ago
