This is a great rustic soup that is one of my family and friends favorite. Kale is a leafy green and has gotten a lot of attention lately because of its health benefits. Kale helps lower cholesterol, is detoxifying, is anti inflammatory and antioxidant. It is an alkaline green that has anti cancer properties.
