| Preparation:
In a large pot, heat olive oil then add garlic and onion. Sauté these ingredients until soft. Add kale and sauté until wilted. Add 3 cups of the broth, 2 cups of beans, tomatoes,
herbs, salt and pepper. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes.
Use a blender, or what have you, mix the remaining beans and broth until
smooth. I bet you're asking why, it's to thicken the soup. Mix into
soup. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve it up in bowls and sprinkle with parsley.
