Outstanding recipe though I did make a few alterations: substituted shredded green cabbage for the kale since it would melt into the soup; added 2 large parsnips for sweetness; and used Bush's black beans. All of the extra vegetables took longer to cook down and I kept the slow cooker going for around 6 hours on high. Well worth the wait! Read More

This was delicious! the Only change I made was less kale (used what I had) and I puréed some of it at the end to make it a little less chunky. Read More

I portioned out my 1 1/2 cups added 1 tsp pesto but was I supposed to add 2 tsp of red wine vinegar to the whole pot or just 1 serving? Tastes pretty good with 2 tsp in one serving and I won't mind having it for lunch for a couple of more days. Read More

This soup was a big hit all around. Kids gobbled it up. Grown-ups went back for seconds. And it was easy enough to prep before work. I made it without the kale because I didn't have it. Read More

Tastes good filling and nutritious. I added about a tablespoon of Worcestershire 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco plus fresh rosemary and thyme for more flavor. Read More

Good flavor but the carrots and green beans never softened after 6 hours on high! I had to cook on the stove to make it edible. Read More

This recipe makes a lot of soup with a rather "earthy" flavor! Although super healthy the Kale is overwhelming so if I were to make it again I would reduce the amount considerably. Read More
