GREEN KALE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the greens, onions and water in a large soup pot. Bring to boil and cook 10 minutes.
• Strain the liquid and set aside. Transfer the vegetables to a food processor or blender. Process until the leaves are chopped, but not pureed, adding flour and some of the strained liquid, as needed, to keep the mixture fluid.
• Return the mixture to the pot, along with the rest of the strained liquid. Add chicken broth. Heat to boiling and whisk in salt, ginger and pepper. Stir in the cream.
• Garnish with chopped hard boiled egg and chives. Serve hot.

YUMMY BEANS N' GREENS IN A BOWL (KALE SOUP)

Steps:

• Heat a dutch oven and spray with cooking spray. Add olive oil and then the onion and garlic. Saute just until it begins to soften, Add chicken broth and allow to continue cooking while you begin the next steps.
• Wash whatever greens you choose to use and remove any hard stalks. Stack the leaves one on top of the other, roll like a cigar and slice into 1/4 inch slices, then cut the pieces in half. This will give you nice ribbons that are not too wide or long.
• Add greens, sugar and nutmeg (if using) to the pan. (Save spinach for later) Stir to combine. (The sugar will not make the dish sweet but will balance some of the bitterness from the greens).
• Rinse and drain beans and add to pan. Stir gently. Simmer for 20 minutes or until greens are al dente or as soft as you would like. Toss in spinach just to wilt.
• Ladle each serving into a bowl and top with a generous sprinkling of freshly grated parmesan cheese and additional cracked pepper if desired. Crusty bread is also a great accompaniment for all the yummy broth that is swimming in the bowl.
• Enjoy!
