This is a great recipe for Kale (but I would think you could use other greens as well)

1T olive oil 2(15oz) cans white beans such as cannellini or navy
8 large garlic cloves crushed
1 med onion chopped
4 cups kale
4 cups broth (we used veg)
4 plum tomatoes
2 t Italian herb seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 c chopped parsley

heat olive oil, add garlic and onion saute until soft. Add kale and saute stirring until wilted. Add 3 cups broth, 2 cups beans and all of the tomato herbs salt and pepper. Simmer 5 min. In blender or food processor mix the remaining beans and broth until smooth. Stir into soup to thicken simmer 15 min. ladle into bowls and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

We ommitted the blender/food processor part. I just added all to the pot and used a potatoe masher to mash some of it.

This is great tasting soup!
