Tuscan Kale and Chickpea Soup

cbmk4 · 12-06-2012, 06:35 AM

Since I got a huge bunch on lacinato kale in my CSA box, I decided to make a big pot of soup with some to freeze for next week.

Here are the ingredients I used:

Large can crushed tomatoes
Quart of chicken stock
1 celery stalk
1 onion
4 garlic cloves
large bunch kale, ribs removed
3 large carrots
soaked chickpeas (I have a pound soaking but won't use them all)
1 tbsp fresh rosemary
1 tbsp each of dried oregano and basil

I diced up the onion, garlic, kale, celery and carrots and softened them in my pot with olive oil. Then I added the remainder of the ingredient. I will probably adjust the seasoning after it simmers for a while. Since I used low salt store bought chicken broth, I didn't add any salt to the soup.

I may serve it with elbow macaroni.
