kale and white bean soup

Last week we made this Kale and White Bean Soup (recipe from epicurious) and it was sooo good. It was our second time making it. We subscribe to a CSA and it was nice because it used the carrots, kale, garlic, and onions that we had gotten in our bag last week. Instead of making it on the stove top, we used the crock pot (I love my crock pot). We soaked beans overnight and prepped all the veggies the night before in the ceramic crock pot liner and put it in the fridge. The next morning we added the soaked beans, filled the crock pot with stock and water, and let it cook on low for 10 hours while we were at work.

The recipe calls for a rind of Parmesan cheese, which gives this otherwise plain soup a really rich flavor. This soup was so good and so easy - definitely something I would recommend!
