Notes: My husband was skeptical when I told him I was putting kale in this soup, he was very surprised (so was I), he says it is now his favorite soup. In the summer I grow a variety of peppers and tomatoes and then oven dry them and pack them in jars with olive oil. The oil takes on the pepper flavor which I used to cook the garlic.You can buy jars of sundried tomatoes, roasted peppers, even jalapeno peppers whichever suits your tastes. One 10 oz bag of frozen spinach, thawed and drained can be used instead of fresh greens.
