Canyon Ranch Vegetable Kale Soup
Kale is a member of the cabbage family and grows best in cold climates. Even so, it is available all year round in most parts of the country, making this hearty recipe a soup for all seasons.
Kale has a mild cabbage-like flavor and comes in a variety of colors. It is very high in vitamins A, C, folic acid, calcium, and iron. It also contains vitamin K, essential to the clotting of blood. Kale contains other protective substances called phytochemicals that are thought to play a role in cancer prevention. In other words, this is a very healthy vegetable!

Very good!
This was one of the first soups I made with unsoaked beans in my Instant Pot. I used the quick pressure soak in the instant pot first (from the instruction manual), and THEN proceeded with this recipe as if the beans had been soaked overnight. The recipe was delicious, as I’m sure it would have been either way I prepared it, but it was great. For my husband, who isn’t fond of all my spa cuisine, all I had to do was scatter Parmesan Cheese shreds on his soup, and he thought it was a full-fat hearty stew. Two Thumbs Up!
